About this map

Frankton serves as the primary municipal center in this Madison County landscape, showing a dense residential grid structured by streets like E Maple St, W Clyde St, and S Lafayette St. The surrounding countryside is defined by a sophisticated water management system of natural streams and man-made drainage, including Swanfelt Ditch, McClure Ditch, and Lamberson Ditch. These waterways support the agricultural character of the region as they feed into larger systems like Pipe Cr and the White River.

Smaller settlements and rural landmarks provide localized points of interest for historical research. The community of Perkinsville sits along a bend of the White River in the south, while Aroma marks the western edge near Duck Cr. Aviation history is noted by the presence of Stottlemyer Airport north of Frankton, while minor tributaries like Polywog Cr and Elm Run trace the undulating natural drainage patterns of the Indiana plains.
