About this map

Young America serves as the primary hub of this North Central Indiana agricultural landscape, where the flat terrain is meticulously organized by a dense grid of county roads and drainage systems. This 2010 survey highlights the rural character of the area, featuring smaller communities like Poplar Grove, Kappa Corner, and Judson. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting several family and local burial sites including Hoover-Snider Cemetery, Harness Cemetery, and the Mound Cemetery located near Little Deer Creek.

The landscape is defined by its water management, evidenced by an extensive network of named ditches such as Munson Ditch, Greetings Ditch, and Mathias-Young Ditch, which channel water toward the larger Deer Creek. The intersection of modern aviation and traditional farming is visible at the Galveston Airport on the eastern edge. This detailed record captures a snapshot of the region's established settlement patterns and its continued reliance on the local creek and ditch system for land use.
