About this map

Colfax serves as the central hub of this Indiana landscape, situated where the grid of county roads meets the winding path of Withe Creek. The map reveals a high concentration of burial sites reflecting the area's ancestral roots, including Union Cemetery, Davis Cemetery, and Shilo Cemetery scattered across the rural township. These small, family-linked landmarks are often found at the edge of agricultural sections, such as the Loveless Cemetery near W Hickory Rd.

To the northwest, the settlement of Clarks Hill marks the corner of the survey, while Bowers sits further south along E Bowers Rd. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the larger meanders of Sugar Creek, which is joined by tributaries like Wolf Creek and Hazel Creek. This network of waterways and the meticulously plotted road system, including W Manson Colfax Rd, underscores the region's enduring character as an organized agricultural community.
