About this map

The East Fork White River winds along the western edge of this landscape, carving a wide valley that historically dictated the placement of early settlements and road networks. To the east, the small community of Azalia serves as a focal point near the Azalia Methodist Cem, while Reddington sits further south along the modern thoroughfare of N Co Rd 925 E. The map reveals a highly structured agricultural grid, yet this order is frequently interrupted by the meandering courses of Sand Creek, Sand Br, and Little Sand Creek.

Genealogists can find several key burial sites throughout the townships, including the centrally located Sandcreek Cem and the more southern Glasson Cem. The topography is defined by the contrast between the flat river bottoms near Thompson Slough and the more dissected drainages of Mutton Cr and Storm Cr in the southeast, illustrating how the hydrological network continues to shape the rural character of this Indiana borderland.
