About this map

The White River winds through the northwestern corner of this Morgan County landscape, while the intricate drainage systems of Stotts Creek and Clear Creek define the central and southern terrain. Settlement is concentrated around the established community of Morgantown in the southeast and the residential enclave of Painted Hills near Parker Lake. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Gerholt Cem, Nast Chapel Cem, and Williams Bradford Cem, which provide significant genealogical touchpoints for local researchers.

General aviation is a visible part of the local infrastructure, with several private airstrips including Twelve Oaks Airport, Jungclaus Airport, and Donica Field scattered across the rural acreage. Notable topographical landmarks like Mt Nebo and the winding Skunk Hollow punctuate the landscape, reflecting the varied elevation that shifts from river bottomlands to the more dissected hills typical of this part of southern Indiana. The road network, including historic routes like Old State Rd 37 N, connects smaller hamlets like Exchange and Cope.
