2017 Map of Weatherby

About this map

Weatherby and the rural community of Santa Rosa sit along the border of DeKalb and Daviess Counties, where the land is deeply carved by a network of drainage ways. Grindstone Creek and Muddy Cr define the northern terrain, while Owl Cr and Lazy Cr move through the central and southern sections. This landscape is a patchwork of small agricultural holdings, connected by a dense grid of gravel roads like NE Liberty Rd and Otter Ave. Local history is anchored by several small burial grounds, including Muddy Cem, Cope Cem, and Reid Cem, which mark the early homesteads and community centers of this township. The creek system, featuring smaller tributaries like Noll Br and Irvins Br, suggests a terrain that has long dictated the placement of homesteads and the winding paths of rural roads away from the floodplains.
