About this map

Stockton and Coal City anchor this Owen County landscape, where the agricultural grid is deeply intertwined with a complex network of waterways. The Eel River snakes across the southern portion of the map, followed closely by the historic route of the Wabash and Erie Canal, a reminder of the region's 19th-century transportation legacy. The terrain is marked by numerous small settlements like Daggett, Hubbell, and Johnstown, many of which developed around the local road and water systems.

Family history is well-preserved across the quadrangle through a high concentration of burial grounds, including the Scaffold Prairie Cemetery, Fiscus Cemetery, and Wilson Cemetery. Significant water features such as Tapawingo Lake and White Oak Creek define the local topography, while numerous smaller streams like Pond Creek and Bunnell Branch drain the surrounding farmlands. The map reveals a transition from these early canal-era corridors to the modern rural road network that persists today.
