2021 Map of Kidder

About this map

Kidder and Hamilton anchor this rural landscape along the boundary of Daviess and Caldwell Counties. The area is defined by a dense network of drainage, where Marrowbone Creek and its many tributaries, including Dog Creek and Honey Creek, wind through the township grids. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies small rural burial grounds like Wooderson Cemetery and Bowman Cemetery, which sit among a web of section roads and contemporary routes like JC Penney Drive. The layout of the small town of Kidder is clearly visible, showing its street grid from East Front Street to County Street. The drainage pattern of Mill Creek and the two branches of West Sheep Creek and East Sheep Creek illustrate the natural irrigation that has long supported the region's agricultural character.
