2020 Map of Farrar

About this map

Farrar and Maxwell serve as central points in this landscape where the boundaries of Jasper, Newton, and Morgan counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries feeding into Murder Creek, which snakes southward through the center of the sheet. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly useful for locating family burial sites and rural congregations, including Shiloh Cem and Hopewell Baptist Cem. The area around Calvin and Palato reveals a pattern of dispersed rural living, with small lakes like Quailwood Lake and the Boyle Lake series providing local landmarks. The documentation of older road alignments, such as Pitts Chapel Rd and Post Rd, illustrates the enduring connectivity of these farming communities as they transitioned into the 21st century.
