About this map

The White River and Eel River converge at the southern edge of this map, shaping a landscape of fertile bottomlands and high ridges between Owen and Greene Counties. The historic site of Point Commerce sits near this confluence, a location once vital to early river-based trade before the rise of the railroads. Moving north, the terrain becomes increasingly dissected by numerous waterways including Fish Creek, Beech Creek, and Brush Creek, which carve through prominent elevations such as Dillon Hill and Need Hill.

Rural community life centers on scattered settlements and spiritual landmarks, with Antioch Ch, Dutch Bethel Ch, and Pleasant Bethel Ch serving the local population. Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites, including Fiscus Cem, Little John Cem, and Griffith Cem. The transportation network reflects both river and rail eras, evidenced by Farmers Ferry crossing the White River and the Conrail line traversing the eastern half of the quadrangle through Farmers.
