About this map

Wabash River navigation and commerce define the landscape of this Carroll County region, which is marked by the historical path of the Erie Canal and the legacy of Towpath Road. The settlements of Lockport and Georgetown sit at the confluence of these waterways, while the Wabash RR and Pennsylvania Railroad later shifted the economic center towards inland towns like Burrows and Rockfield.

Genealogists and local historians can find several well-preserved family and fraternal burial grounds, including the Mullendore Cem and the IOOF Cem. Educational and spiritual foundations of the early 1960s are recorded through landmarks such as the Township Sch and Pleasant Hill Ch. The presence of numerous gravel pits along the river bluffs near Rock Creek points to the area's continued reliance on local aggregate and mineral extraction during this era.
