2022 Map of Colfax

About this map

Colfax sits at the convergence of several county lines in this rural Indiana landscape, where the borders of Clinton, Montgomery, Boone, and Tippecanoe Counties meet. The town's grid is oriented alongside the Big Four Trl, reflecting the historical impact of the railroad on local development. To the northwest, Clarks Hill marks another established node of settlement, while the smaller community of Bowers lies to the southwest along the banks of Little Potato Cr. The area is characterized by its numerous family and community burial grounds, including Shiloh Cem and McKendree Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for local genealogical research. Drainage patterns across the agricultural plains are defined by the winding paths of Sugar Creek and Goldsberry Creek, which eventually feed into the larger regional watersheds. This topography highlights the transition from traditional rail-oriented towns to the modern county road system that now defines movement through these four counties.
