About this map

The East Fork White River anchors this southern Indiana landscape, winding past the settlements of Brownstown and Ewing. This area is defined by a transition from the agricultural lowlands of the river valley to the timbered elevations of the Hoosier National Forest in the northwest. Local family history is preserved in several small burial grounds across the quadrangle, including Wayman Cem, Smallwood Cem, and Robinson Cem.

Smaller hamlets like Freetown, Acme, and the aptly named Surprise are connected by a rigid grid of county roads that intersect with complex water systems such as White Creek, Beatty Walker Ditch, and Little Salt Cr. The inclusion of Green Acres Airport and the concentrated street plan of Brownstown, including W Walnut St and W Bloomington Rd, illustrate the modern infrastructure supporting this rural community.
