About this map

New Ross and Jamestown anchor this central Indiana landscape, where a dense grid of rural roads connects several small settlements and numerous family burial grounds. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Big Raccoon Creek, Little Raccoon Creek, and Big Walnut Creek, which create natural breaks in the geometric agricultural layout. The prevalence of small, scattered graveyards such as Brown Cemetery, Porter Cemetery, and the Kidd Farm Cemetery offers significant value for genealogists tracking early inhabitants of Boone and Montgomery counties.

Transportation corridors like New Ross Rd and Ladoga Rd cut across the township lines, intersecting near the County Line Rd. Notable landmarks like Wells Ditch and Walnut Fork Sugar Creek illustrate the historical drainage and water management patterns essential to the region's development. This survey provides a clear view of the area's rural character and established community infrastructure before further modern expansion.
