2018 Map of Carpenter

About this map

Deer Creek meanders through this agricultural landscape on the border of Worth and Mitchell Counties, anchoring the small settlements of Carpenter and Meltonville. The area's genealogical history is well-preserved through several distinct burial sites, including the Newburg Cem and the London and Deer Creek Cem in the northwest. A notable local landmark is the Birdsal Family Plot, a small private burial site that stands out amidst the grid of country roads like Zinnia Ave and Vine Ave. The drainage patterns of the region are defined by Willow Cr and the engineered Ditch Number 11, reflecting the long-standing management of this fertile prairie land for farming. Religious life is centered at the NE Lutheran Congregational Carpenter Cem, illustrating the importance of community institutions in this rural corridor.
