2016 Map of Paoli

About this map

Paoli serves as the focal point of this Orange County landscape, where the confluence of several key routes and the winding Lick Creek define the town's layout. The map highlights a transition from the structured street grid of the county seat to the outlying rural settlements of Woodlawn Grove, Syria, and Chambersburg. To the north, the Lost River meanders through a landscape dotted with family-named burial grounds including Irvin Cem, Scott Cem, and Lewis Cem. A unique hydrological feature, the Stampers Creek Sinks, appears to the northeast, illustrating the region's complex karst topography. Much of the southern and western portions are managed as part of the Hoosier National Forest, reflecting a terrain of ridges and valleys cut by streams like Youngs Creek and Willow Creek. The presence of the Indian Boundary Rd north of the town center provides a clear reference to the historical surveying and settlement patterns of southern Indiana.
