2010 Map of Carlos

About this map

The Whitewater River and its numerous tributaries, including Cabin Creek and Martindale Creek, define the agricultural landscape of this Indiana quadrangle. Small rural settlements are scattered throughout the region, with Modoc and Huntsville serving as primary hubs. The map reveals a strictly rectangular grid of county roads, such as W 500 S and S 400 W, which frame the farmsteads and small communities. For genealogists, the survey identifies several burial sites, including Salem Cemetery near the western edge and Jordon Cemetery in the southwest corner. The drainage pattern is particularly dense here, featuring several named "Runs" like Mortar Run, Roots Run, and Block Run that flow through the gently undulating terrain of Randolph County. These waterways influenced the early placement of towns like Unionport and Buena Vista, which remain as quiet crossroads in this modern survey.
