About this map

De Gonia Springs and Ash Iron Springs anchor this portion of the Indiana landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage canals and natural waterways. The southern boundary of the map is shaped by the meandering course of Little Pigeon Creek, which also serves as the dividing line between Warrick Co and Spencer Co. The presence of numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Beasley Cem, Mill Cem, and Kelley Cem, provides significant points of interest for those tracing local lineages.

Transport and land management are evident through a grid of rural roads and an extensive system of agricultural drainage, including the Daniel-Huegel Ditch and Hoskinson Drain. These man-made features, alongside natural flows like Otter Cr and Barren Fork, illustrate the long-standing efforts to manage the low-lying areas surrounding Hendrickson Lake. Small clusters of homes at Midway and Eames further highlight the rural settlement patterns that have persisted into the 21st century.
