About this map

The Embarras River carves a winding path through this portion of Jasper County, defining the agricultural landscape between the small settlements of Rose Hill and Falmouth. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of creek drainages, including Wolf Cr, Mint Cr, and Turkey Cr, which fragment the grid of country roads. Rising above the river bottomlands, Jordan Hill provides a distinct topographic landmark in a region otherwise dominated by farm plots and rural residences.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial sites scattered across the township lines, from the Gila Lutheran Cem in the west to the Plainfield Cem and Brooks Cem in the east. Many of these, such as Hicks Cem and Songer Cem, appear as small isolated plots near family farmsteads. The southeastern corner of the map shows the upper reaches of Sam Parr Lake, a significant water feature that contrasts with the smaller, private Glenn Lake and Lake Sandpoint found elsewhere on the sheet.
