2016 Map of Trafalgar

About this map

Trafalgar serves as the primary hub for this portion of Johnson County, where the transition from agricultural plains to the dissected drainage of the White River watershed is visible. The landscape is defined by the dendritic branching of North Prong Stotts Creek and S Prong Stotts Cr, which carve through local high points such as Pea Ridge and Turkey Hill. These creek systems dictated the placement of early rural infrastructure, with small crossroads settlements like Samaria, Anita, and Bud emerging along the ridges and valley floors. Local history and genealogy interests are well-represented by several family and community burial grounds, including Shiloh Cem, Dollings Cem, and the Watts Cem near Providence. The presence of small aviation facilities like Bronson Airport and Kephart Field alongside established township boundaries like t12n r3e illustrates the continued use of this land for both traditional farming and modern light industry.
