2015 Map of Earlham East

About this map

Earlham sits at the northwestern edge of this Madison County landscape, where the town's early footprint is anchored by the Earlham Cem. The terrain is defined by the winding drainages of the North River and its tributaries, including Bulger Cr, Badger Cr, and Orman Cr. These waterways create a complex topography that historically influenced road placement and cemetery locations. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites across the rural sections, from the North Branch Cem near the northern border to the Stringtown Cem in the south. A notable landmark in the southern reaches is the Hogback Covered Bridge, which spans the river in a sheltered valley. The grid of country roads like Ironwood Trl and N River School Rd connects these scattered sites, reflecting the enduring agricultural and civic structure of the region.
