2016 Map of Lizton

About this map

The agrarian landscape of the Boone and Hendricks county line is defined by a dense network of drainage infrastructure and small-town junctions. Settlements like Lizton and Jamestown anchor the southern and western reaches, while the rural interior is marked by a high concentration of fraternal and pioneer burial grounds. Genealogists may find particular interest in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and the Lizton Knights of Pythias Cem, reflecting the civic and fraternal history of these Indiana communities. The land is drained by a complex system of waterways including Big Walnut Creek and the S Fork Eel River, supplemented by numerous named channels like Main Edlin Ditch and Higgins Ditch. Aviation history is well-represented across the prairie by private facilities such as Bergs Airport, Haffner Airport, and the Reimer Aerodrome, illustrating the importance of small-scale flight in this region of South Fork Prairie.
