About this map

The settlement of Coloma serves as the focal point of this Carroll County landscape, situated amidst a network of rural county roads and agricultural terrain. Notable landmarks for genealogical research include the Salem Cemetery, Hill Cemetery, and Braden Cemetery, which are scattered across the township. The area is defined by its water management and natural drainage, with Tater Hill Creek winding through the center, feeding into several controlled reservoirs such as Susewine Lake Dam, Henry Lake Dam, and Harts Lake Dam.

Distinctive topographic features like Round Tater Hill, Long Tater Hill, and the depression of Bunch Hollow break the horizon. Historical evidence of local commerce and communication is preserved in the location of the Fisher Post Office. Numerous named water bodies, including Maberry Lake, Sykes Lake, and Waitman Lake Section 30, indicate a landscape heavily influenced by both natural tributaries and modern agricultural irrigation practices.
