About this map

The Wabash River and the historic Wabash and Erie Canal dominate this landscape, tracing a southwesterly path through Carroll County. The settlement of Lockport sits directly on the canal’s northern bank, while Georgetown occupies the northern edge near Crooked Cr. These river towns are connected by a grid of rural roads and the diagonal path of State Rd 25, which links the communities of Rockfield and Burrows.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial sites across the townships, including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and the Great Eastern Cem. Smaller family or denominational sites like Seceder Cem, Mullendore Cem, and Whistler Cem are scattered across the terrain. The presence of Johnson City and numerous drainage features like Benner Ditch and Little Rock Cr illustrate the long-standing agricultural and water-management systems of this central Indiana region.
