2018 Map of Timken

About this map

Timken serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Rush County, oriented around the intersection of Main St and S Railroad Ave. The town is situated just north of Walnut Creek, a waterway that defines much of the local topography. The region's history of Central European settlement is evident through features like the Bohemian Cemetery and Holy Cross Cemetery, reflecting the community's ancestral roots and religious foundations. Beyond the town center, a grid of section roads like Ave P and Ave R divides the landscape, which is further shaped by several drainages including Sand Creek and Dry Walnut Creek. This 2018 survey documents a modern rural landscape where traditional land divisions and burial grounds persist alongside established transport corridors.
