2016 Map of Blocher

About this map

Lexington serves as a primary settlement in this southeastern Indiana landscape, situated where the Jefferson Co and Scott Co border defines the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, notably Stucker Fork and Kimberlin Cr, which wind through the township. Small rural communities like Blocher, New Frankfort, and Wooster are connected by a grid of county roads and the arterial E State RD 256. Genealogy researchers will find several family and community burial sites, including Bethel Cem, Owens Cem, and Reeve Cem, situated near historic drainage features like Hopewell Drain. The distribution of residential clusters around water bodies such as Lake McCulloch and Smith Lake illustrates the local patterns of land use and modern settlement that have evolved around these central drainage basins.
