About this map

Azalia and Reddington anchor this mid-century landscape where the East Fork White River and Sand Creek converge at the borders of Bartholomew, Jackson, and Jennings counties. The map details a rural landscape defined by community landmarks, including the Friends Meetinghouse, Wilson Chapel, and Township Sch. These structures, alongside several family and community burial grounds like Rock Creek Cem and Glasson Cem, provide essential data for local genealogy and history.

Transport is dominated by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which cuts through the fertile bottomlands of Wayne and Redding townships. A significant historical marker is the Treaty Boundary that runs through Spencer township, reflecting the early 19th-century division of the land. This survey reveals a landscape where old church communities, such as Browns Corner Ch and Ackeret Ch, continued to serve as focal points for the surrounding farmsteads.
