2010 Map of Kent

About this map

Kent Cemetery and Blankenship Cemetery anchor the northern landscape of this rural Indiana quadrangle, where family and community heritage is deeply rooted in the soil. The terrain is defined by a dense network of streams, including Lewis Creek, Big Spring Creek, and Woods Fork, which have historically shaped the settlement patterns of towns like Kent, Lexington, and Swanville. In the southern reaches, Chelsea sits near the headwaters of Big Saluda Creek, while various water management structures such as Perkinson Lake Dam and Arthur S Kingman Lake Dam illustrate the modern agricultural and recreational hydrology of the region. Local aviation history is represented by the presence of Wilkersons Airport, situated near the headwaters of Hog Creek. This documentation of Jefferson County's countryside reveals a continuity of small-town centers and secluded family burial grounds like Landon Cemetery and Horner Cemetery.
