2019 Map of Kempton

About this map

Kempton and the surrounding agricultural lands of Tipton County are defined by an intricate network of drainage systems such as Carter Ditch, Barr Ditch, and Lydy-Fillenworth Ditch. These man-made waterways emphasize the intensive land management required for farming in this part of Indiana. Small clusters of settlement at Goldsmith, Tetersburg, and Groomsville are connected by a rigid grid of county roads, with several family and community burial grounds like Tucker Cem and Wolford Cem anchoring the local geography. The southern edge of the map shows the headwaters of several prominent streams including Sugar Cr and Cicero Cr, which begin their winding paths through the flat terrain. This survey reflects the enduring rural character of the region, where historical hamlets persist alongside a landscape meticulously engineered for production.
