About this map

Kempton anchors this section of the Tipton County countryside, where the layout of section roads and small-town clusters reflects the area’s agricultural heritage. Small unincorporated communities like Groomsville and Normanda are situated along the gridded road network, often centered near local burial grounds such as Normanda Cemetery or the more isolated Wolford Cemetery further east. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with Dixon Creek and Sugar Creek meandering through the flat terrain, while Cicero Creek touches the southeastern corner.

In the late 2000s, this area remained largely rural, centered on the historic rail corridor represented by W Railroad St in Kempton. The map captures the quiet persistence of these small settlements, including Goldsmith and Tetersburg, which serve as landmarks in a landscape otherwise dominated by the orderly expansion of county roads like W Division Rd. The presence of numerous family and community burial sites like Tucker Cemetery provides essential geographic markers for those researching the local lineage of this Indiana heartland.
