2016 Map of Colfax

About this map

The town of Colfax sits at the convergence of several county boundaries, serving as a hub for the agricultural lands of Clinton, Boone, Montgomery, and Tippecanoe counties. The grid of the town center includes streets like N Railroad St and S Meridian St, reflecting the rail-influenced layout typical of this part of Indiana. To the north, Clarks Hill occupies the corner of Tippecanoe County, while the small settlement of Bowers lies further south. The landscape is defined by its numerous family and community burial grounds, including Union Cem, Plainview Cem, and McKendree Cem, which offer significant touchstones for genealogical research. Natural drainage is provided by a network of creeks including Little Potato Cr, Withe Cr, and the larger Sugar Creek to the south. This modern survey illustrates how long-standing farm-to-market roads like W Manson Colfax Rd and Co Line Rd 1200 N continue to follow the original township lines established over a century ago.
