About this map

The Little Blue River and its numerous tributaries, including Mill Cr and Stinking Fork, carve a complex drainage pattern through the heart of the Hoosier National Forest. This 2016 survey captures the borderlands between Indiana and Kentucky, anchored by the wide bend of the Ohio River in the southeast corner. The terrain is dotted with small hilltop and valley settlements like Sulphur Springs, Beechwood, and Deuchars, connected by a network of rural roads such as E State Rd 62 and Beechwood Rd.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites preserved in the landscape, from Old Union Cem and Birds Cem to the Sheckell Cem near the river. The presence of the Oriole E Trail 1 and various forest service roads suggests the area's continued use for recreation and timber management. The northern edge is dominated by the modern path of I-64, contrasting with the traditional riverfront orientation of places like Fredonia.
