2010 Map of Metamora

About this map

The Whitewater River corridor defines the landscape of this Franklin County region, where the town of Metamora and the neighboring village of Laurel represent historic hubs of commerce along the waterway. The area is marked by significant cultural landmarks, most notably the Wiley Indian Mound and the Laurel Feeder Dam, which point to the ancient and industrial history of the valley. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for numerous burial grounds, including the Stipps Hill Cemetery, Jenks Cemetery, and the Saint Nicholas Cemetery near Peppertown. The terrain transitions from the river flats to elevated points like Jackson Hill and McGuire Ridge, with numerous named hollows and creek branches like Sillimans Creek and Whistle Creek cutting through the countryside. This document preserves the late-modern arrangement of small Indiana settlements and rural farm roads before recent decade developments.
