2016 Map of Crandall

About this map

Crandall and the surrounding Harrison County landscape are defined by a network of small rural settlements and meandering waterways. To the north, Central Barren and Bradford sit along the highlands, while the valley of Indian Creek cuts through the center of the quadrangle, passing near Mott Station and New Salisbury. This area maintains a strong connection to its local heritage, evidenced by the numerous burial grounds marking the hillsides, including Central Barren Cem, Sappenfield Cem, and Bethlehem Cem. The drainage patterns of Raccoon Br and Crandall Br dictate the local topography, influencing the placement of historical roads like Cemetary Rd NE and Saint Johns Church Rd NE. The transition from the rural northern uplands to the creek-bottom lands near Byrneville reflects a classic Southern Indiana settlement pattern where small community hubs formed around primary crossroads and water sources.
