About this map

Frankton serves as the primary center of activity in this Madison County corridor, its grid of streets such as Maple St and Walnut St set against a backdrop of productive farmland. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Pipe Creek, which meanders through the central terrain, while the White River cuts across the southern portion near Perkinsville. This area is notable for its concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including the Knights of Pythias Cem and Prewett Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research.

Transportation patterns are dominated by the intersection of rural county roads and local transit hubs like Stottlemyer Airport. The drainage network, featuring Lamberson Ditch and Shuelfelt Ditch, reflects the extensive historical engineering required to manage the Indiana plains for agriculture. Smaller settlements like Aroma on the western edge maintain the quiet, rural character of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
