1962 Map of Colfax

About this map

Clarks Hill and Colfax serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural landscape where the borders of Tippecanoe, Clinton, Montgomery, and Boone counties converge. The geography is defined by a series of watercourses including Sugar Creek, Potato Creek, and Withe Creek, which have shaped the local drainage patterns and placement of rural cemeteries. A notable diagonal line across the terrain is the Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts through the township grids and reflects the early 19th-century surveying of the region. The map reveals a high density of local history markers, from the Plainview Ch to several small family and community burial grounds such as Loveless Cem and Mc Kendra Cem. Transportation infrastructure is dominated by the Conrail and Norfolk And Western rail lines, which intersect at Colfax, illustrating the town's historical importance as a railway junction.
