2024 Map of Walpole

About this map

Walpole and the surrounding farmland of southern Hamilton County appear here in a landscape defined by small crossroads settlements and quiet watercourses. This rural expanse is characterized by its network of county roads connecting local hubs like Braden, Olga, and Tuckers Corners in the north, stretching down to the southern boundary where Long Branch and Tison sit near the border with Saline County. The terrain is relatively level, broken by low rises such as Bunker Hill and drained by the branching systems of Hogg Creek, Contrary Creek, and Rector Creek. For those tracing local families, the map provides precise locations for several rural burial grounds, including Durham Cem, Barton Cem, and Rhine Cem. These cemeteries, often the most enduring markers of early 20th-century family homesteads, are scattered across the township lines, offering a clear view of the area's social and geographic history.
