2022 Map of Milltown

About this map

Milltown and Marengo serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Crawford County, where the Blue River and its various tributaries carve a complex drainage system through the Indiana landscape. The rural character of the area is defined by a high concentration of family and church-affiliated burial grounds, including the St Joseph Catholic Church Cem and the Shafer Ridge Church Cem. Small settlements like Hogtown and Carefree are connected by a network of ridge roads, such as White Oak Ridge and Shafer Ridge, which navigate the elevation changes around prominent landmarks like Pilot Knob and Buzzard Roost Hill. The naming conventions of the waterways, such as Whiskey Run, Brandywine Fork, and Devils Hollow, reflect the local heritage and the rugged nature of the terrain. This document provides a look at the modern road network and the enduring placement of these early crossroads communities.
