About this map

Morgantown anchors the southeastern corner of this Morgan County landscape, where the terrain begins to transition from the river bottomlands into a series of ridges and hollows. The White River cuts through the northwest, bridged at Henderson Bridge near the small settlement of Adams. This 2019 survey illustrates the established rural character of the region, marked by numerous family-named cemeteries and small landing strips such as Twelve Oaks Airport and Jungclaus Airport.

Residential growth is evident in the development of Painted Hills and its surrounding reservoirs, including Painted Hills Lake and Parker Lake. The map's detailed hydrography traces the branching networks of North Prong Stotts Creek and South Prong Stotts Creek as they drain the central uplands. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of several small burial grounds like Brian Cem, Thompson Cem, and Nast Chapel Cem, providing a precise geographic context for local family histories.
