2022 Map of Holton

About this map

Holton serves as a primary hub for the surrounding agricultural landscape of western Ripley County, situated near the headwaters of Otter Creek and Falling Timber Br. This modern survey reveals a dense network of country cemeteries, such as Saint Bridget Cem and Old Hopewell Cem, which reflect generations of family burials in the rural districts surrounding Nebraska and Zenas. The terrain is defined by the incision of watercourses like Brush Cr and the Vernon Fork Muscatatuck River as they cut through the Indiana uplands. In the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, Old Timber Lake provides a notable landmark within the timbered breaks. Transportation routes, including a grid of county roads and the small Francis Airport, link these scattered settlements, while the municipal boundaries of Jennings and Ripley counties bisect the western half of the map.
