2017 Map of Novelty

About this map

Novelty sits at the southern edge of this Knox County landscape, where the local road network converges around the Novelty Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways branching through the countryside, including the Little Fabius River and the N River, which carve winding paths across the township lines of T61N and T60N. To the northeast, Hedge City appears as a smaller point of settlement near the banks of Hickory Br. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, as it identifies several scattered burial sites that serve as landmarks for the area's rural history, such as Noblitt Cem and Mount Carmel Cem. This survey illustrates a quiet agricultural region where life remains oriented around small communities and the many creeks, such as Coon Cr and Norwegian Cr, that feed the larger river systems.
