2013 Map of Mellott

About this map

Mellott and Newtown anchor this agricultural landscape in eastern Fountain County, where a network of rural roads connects several small settlements and named corners. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage system including Big Shawnee Cr, Little Shawnee Cr, and the winding path of Turkey Run. This 2013 survey illustrates the persistence of early Indiana settlement patterns, featuring historic localities like Rob Roy and Aylesworth along the western edge. Notable landmarks such as Harrison Lake and the interestingly named Stephens Crossing provide specific points of interest for local historians. The map documents the continued importance of water management in the region, visible through features like Kell Ditch and the various forks of Coal Cr that navigate the gently undulating farmland between Graham and Simpson Corner.
