2015 Map of Frytown

About this map

The agrarian borderland of Johnson and Washington Counties is defined by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, reflecting the deep roots of the local heritage. Settlements like Frytown and Sharon Center anchor the township grid, which is woven with numerous small cemeteries such as John Helmuth Cem, Gingerich Cem, and Hochstetler Cem. These sites, often named for the area's early families, provide a rich map for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads near the banks of Old Mans Creek or the meandering Picayune Cr.
