2010 Map of Smedley

About this map

Old Smedley Cemetery and New Philadelphia Cemetery lie within a rural Indiana landscape defined by its complex drainage network and elevated ridgelines. The area is anchored by small rural centers like Smedley, Prowsville, and Hitchcock, which reflect the region's agricultural character at the start of the 21st century. The topography is shaped by the transition from the North Fork Lost River in the south to prominent heights like Fleener Ridge and Mount Carmel Ridge in the northwest. Water features are central to the terrain, including Rush Creek and the man-made John Hays Lake. This survey illustrates how the local road system, including W Smedley Rd and N Highland Rd, navigates the natural valleys and hollows such as Prow Hollow to connect these dispersed settlements and historical burial grounds.
