About this map

The Wabash River carves a deep diagonal path through this Carroll County landscape, its banks lined with the remnants of early transportation and commerce. Near the river, Lockport sits along Towpath Road, a name that hints at the area's canal-era history, while the Wabash RR and Pennsylvania RR demonstrate the mid-20th-century dominance of rail transport. Settlement is concentrated in the small communities of Burrows and Rockfield, the latter featuring the IOOF Cem and several small gravel operations nearby.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered throughout the townships, including Whistler Cem near Deer Creek, Seceder Cem in Jackson Township, and the Mullendore Cem south of Rock Creek. The rural character is further defined by the Township Sch and the Pleasant Hill Ch, which served the farming families established across the fertile lands between Burnetts Creek and Little Rock Creek.
