About this map

Bucktown and the surrounding Sullivan County countryside appear in this 2013 survey as a landscape defined by its complex water systems and precise section-line roads. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by a chain of water bodies, including Red Lake, More Lake, Twin Lake, and Motorboat Lake, indicating a legacy of local recreation or land modification. To the south, the settlement of Pleasantville sits near South Lake, connected to the wider region by the Carlisle-Pleasantville Rd.

The hydrography of the area is further characterized by the meandering courses of Maria Cr and Marsh Cr, which are supplemented by the engineered water management of Pollard Ditch. In the northwest, the land rises at Bear Run near Middle Fork Cr, while the remainder of the map is etched with a dense grid of county routes like Co Rd-700 and Co Rd-500, which provide access to the rural homesteads and agricultural plots of this southwestern Indiana territory.
