About this map

The Whitewater River cuts a deep, winding valley through the terrain of Franklin and Dearborn counties, shaping the development of river-edge communities like Cedar Grove and New Trenton. In the upland areas, the landscape is defined by family-named landmarks and local high points such as Gobblers Knob Hill, English Hill, and Wee Wee Hill. The 1974 revisions, shown in purple, highlight the growth of transportation infrastructure, notably the development of Interchange 164 where it crosses the southern agricultural plains.

Local social and civic life is anchored by several rural landmarks, including Logan Creek Ch and the South Gate Cem. Further south, Saint Leon sits near the intersection of Schuman Rd and regional transit corridors. The presence of multiple Gravel Pits along the riverbanks suggests the local importance of aggregate mining to the valley's economy, while sites like Camp Leonmary indicate the area's recreational utility along the river bluffs.
