About this map

Fall Creek meanders through this portion of central Indiana, marking a landscape defined by the convergence of Hamilton, Madison, and Hancock counties. The town of Ingalls sits at the heart of this transition, surrounded by smaller residential developments such as Helmcrest, Sunview, and Colonial Village. To the southwest, Fortville serves as a significant local hub, while the hamlet of Alfont anchors the corridor along the Pendleton Pike.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across these townships, including family-named plots like the Caudell-Simmons-Cook Cem, Hiday Cem, and Fausset Cem. The intricate network of agricultural drainage is meticulously documented through named waterways such as Jackson Ditch, Mingle Ditch, and McFadden Ditch, reflecting the historical importance of land reclamation for farming in the region. These drainage patterns, combined with established cemeteries like Grave Lawn Cem, provide a detailed record of the area's rural development and heritage.
