2016 Map of Burlington

About this map

Wildcat Creek meanders through the northern reaches of this landscape, anchoring the settlement of Burlington, where Wildcat River Way and S State Rd 29 intersect. This 2016 survey captures the rural boundary where Carroll Co meets Clinton Co, a region defined by its agricultural grid and the complex drainage of the Middle Fork Wildcat Creek and its many tributaries, including Harness Ditch and Whiteman Ditch. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating several small burial grounds scattered among the farmsteads, such as Asbury Cem, Grays Cem, and Old Chaney Cem. Smaller settlements like Geetingsville, Lexington, and Middlefork are documented along the section lines, showing the enduring structure of these historic crossroads communities in north-central Indiana.
