2022 Map of Clayton

About this map

Clayton serves as a central hub in this modern Hendricks County survey, where the historic Old National Rd bisects the landscape. The settlement pattern here reflects deep-rooted community foundations, with numerous small towns like Amo, Pecksburg, and Springtown linked by a dense grid of county roads. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Hadley Friends Cem, Springtown Methodist Cem, and the uniquely divided Christie East Cem and Christie West Cem near Beck Lake. These landmarks, along with the Bethel Lutheran Cem, preserve the names of the families who established these rural townships. The drainage of the E Fork Mill Cr and Mud Cr continues to define the local topography, while small aviation facilities like Marcidale Airport and Cooper Airport illustrate the continued utility of the open Indiana countryside.
