About this map

The Whitewater River cuts a wide, meandering valley through this portion of Franklin and Dearborn Counties, shaping the development of riverside settlements like Cedar Grove and New Trenton. Upland areas are defined by a series of prominent ridges and family-named elevations such as Gobblers Knob Hill, English Hill, and Wee Wee Hill. The landscape transitions from the river valley's bottomlands to the agricultural plateaus around Saint Leon and South Gate.

Local social and civic landmarks are well-represented, from rural congregations at Smyrna Ch and Logan Creek Ch to the grounds of East Central High Sch. The map reveals the infrastructure of the mid-1970s, including Interchange 164 and several recreational sites like Camp Lenmary and Camp Alden. Detailed drainage features including Big Cedar Creek and Logan Creek illustrate the complex network of hollows and ridges that characterize this southeastern Indiana terrain.
