About this map

The White River forms a natural western boundary for this central Indiana landscape, where suburban growth from Greenwood meets long-established farming communities. The shift from rural to residential is evident in the transition from the cluster of original homesteads at Old Bargersville and Banta to the modern subdivisions of El Dorado and Critchfield. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial sites, including the Messersmith Cem, Mallow Cem, and McColgin Cem, which anchor the histories of the surrounding townships.

Water management and drainage networks, such as Alexander Ditch and Roberts Ditch, reflect the region's agricultural foundations. These waterways join natural features like Honey Cr and Pleasant Run Cr to define the local topography. Modern connectivity is represented by the Bargersville Trails Trl and Center Grove Srts Trl, which now trace paths through a landscape once defined by early pioneers at Stones Crossing and Kinder.
