About this map

Caledonia serves as the focal point of this Houston County landscape, where the street grid of the town center meets a network of rural ridges and creek valleys. The area is marked by a deep-rooted community history, visible through numerous burial sites such as the German Lutheran Cemetery, Union Valley Cemetery, and Old Caledonia Cemetery. Outside of the main settlement, the smaller community of Union Ridge sits along the high ground between the drainages of Thompson Creek and Indian Spring Creek.

Water management and local geography are defined by the winding paths of Sullivan Creek and the North Fork Crooked Creek, the latter featuring infrastructure like the Structure R-1 Dam. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations like Peacock Ridge, which overlooks a patchwork of township roads and county highways that have connected these farmsteads and churches for generations. Modern features like the Post Office and Trinity Episcopal Church anchor the civic life of the township.
