2016 Map of Flora

About this map

Flora and Camden anchor this Carroll County landscape, showcasing the grid-based agricultural organization and drainage systems of northern Indiana. The town of Flora serves as a central hub, flanked by the Flora Municipal Airport and the waters of Bachelor Run. To the north, Camden is situated along Paint Cr and Deer Creek, which meander through the farmland. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, identifying numerous family and community burial sites including Maple Lawn Cem, Nettle Cem, and Zion Cem. A complex network of drainage ditches such as Johns Ditch, Simes Ditch, and Ayres Ditch illustrates the extensive engineering required to manage the local water table for cultivation. South of the main settlements, the community of Bringhurst sits near the banks of Sugar Cr, marking the southern extent of this rural survey.
