2016 Map of Kempton

About this map

Agricultural lands and engineered waterways define this section of the Indiana heartland near the Tipton and Clinton County border. Small rural communities like Kempton and Goldsmith are tied together by a precise grid of county roads and a central rail line. The landscape is characterized by an extensive network of drainage features such as Collier Ditch, Kemp Ditch, and Magnet Ditch, which were historically essential for converting these flat wetlands into productive farmland. Several small cemeteries, including Tucker Cem and Wolford Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle, marking the generational presence of farming families in the area. The terrain transitions between the headwaters of several regional stream systems, including Kilmore Cr flowing to the west and Cicero Cr draining toward the southeast, illustrating the subtle topographic shifts of the central Indiana till plain.
