2010 Map of Plainfield

About this map

White Lick Creek and its various forks dictate the topography and development of this central Indiana landscape. The established community of Plainfield serves as a primary hub, while smaller surrounding settlements like Cartersburg, Belleville, and Joppa maintain their distinct rural character. The map is a significant resource for genealogists, documenting a high density of burial grounds including the Indiana Boy's School Cemetery, White Lick Friends Cemetery, and Salem Methodist Cemetery. The transition from historic routes like Old National Rd to a modern grid of county roads illustrates the area's evolution from a series of scattered hamlets into a more integrated suburban and agricultural corridor. The presence of Magnetic Springs and the Oaktree Golf Course highlights the region's diverse land use, balancing historical landmarks with recreational development.
