About this map

De Gonia Springs and Ash Iron Springs anchor the central landscape of this western Indiana territory, where the terrain is defined by the winding course of Little Pigeon Creek and its many tributaries. The area sits at the boundary of Warrick and Spencer Counties, revealing a deeply rural pattern of section-line roads and family burial grounds that tell the story of generations of local settlement. Numerous small cemeteries are scattered across the quadrangle, including Reed, Kelley, and Roth, providing essential landmarks for genealogists and local historians.

Water management and drainage are prominent features of the environment, seen in the engineered flow of Ellison W Ditch and the meandering paths of Barren Fork and Otter Creek. While the eastern edge of Boonville touches the western margin, the majority of the map focuses on the agricultural and spring-fed lands leading toward Midway. The presence of Hendrickson Lake and expansive wetlands along the creek bottoms suggests a landscape that remains closely tied to its natural hydrology even as modern county roads like Tennyson Road provide modern connectivity.
