About this map

The Wabash River valley and its historic transport corridors define this rural landscape in Carroll County. Following the northern bank, the Wabash and Erie Canal remains a prominent landmark, paralleled by W Towpath Rd, reflecting the nineteenth-century infrastructure that once connected these river towns. Settlements like Lockport and Georgetown sit near the water's edge, while Rockfield and Burrows anchor the agricultural uplands to the south and east.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of small burial grounds scattered throughout the township, including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery, Whistler Cemetery, and Parks Cemetery. The mapping of small drainage systems like Burnetts Creek and Rock Creek illustrates the intricate hydrology of the region, which dictated early settlement patterns and road placements such as S Burnettsville Rd and Co Rd 875 N.
