2012 Map of Appleton

About this map

Spoon Lake and its surrounding residential developments anchor the northeastern corner of this Knox County landscape, where the waters of Sugar Creek are gathered. The map illustrates a transitional rural geography, where traditional farmstead patterns defined by North Creek and Middle Creek meet the modern planned community of Oak Run. The small settlement of Appleton sits near the center, positioned along a network of gravel and paved routes such as Old Wagon Road and Aloha Road. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites distributed throughout the township, including Westfall Cemetery, Van Gilder Cemetery, Myers Cemetery, and Russell Cemetery, providing clear evidence of the area's long-established family history. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the straight-line transit of Knox Highway 17 and the bypass, cutting through the drainage of Little Haw Creek.
