2010 Map of De Gonia Springs

About this map

De Gonia Springs and the surrounding rural landscapes of Warrick County are defined by a network of creeks and family-named cemeteries that speak to generations of settlement. In the northern reaches, Hendrickson Lake is held by the Hendrickson Lake Dam, feeding into a drainage system that includes Coles Creek and Barren Fork. The southern portion of the quadrangle follows the winding path of Little Pigeon Creek near the community of Midway. For those tracing local heritage, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, from the larger Plainview Memorial Cemetery to smaller family plots like the Kelley Cemetery, Roth Cemetery, and Mill Cemetery. This grid of section roads, including Skelton Rd and Hible Rd, connects isolated homesteads and small agricultural clusters such as Eames in a landscape still primarily dedicated to farming and open drainage.
