About this map

Trafalgar and the surrounding farm country of Johnson County are defined by a network of creeks and small crossroads settlements in this 2010 survey. The landscape is a complex drainage basin for the North Prong Stotts Creek and South Prong Stotts Creek, which join several other waterways like Goose Creek and Barnes Creek to shape the local topography. Higher ground is marked by features such as Pea Ridge and Turkey Hill, providing a contrast to the lower creek beds that crisscross the agricultural grid.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds throughout the area, including Shiloh Cemetery, Dollings Cemetery, and Carmen Cemetery. Smaller hamlets like Providence, Bud, and Samaria remain visible as historical anchors for the rural population. Managed water resources are also prominent, evidenced by Ray-Willoughby Lake and the Teeters Lake Dam, which reflect the modernization of the local hydrologic system.
