1902 Map of Degonia Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Degonia Springs and Ash Iron Springs serve as central landmarks in this turn-of-the-century landscape, illustrating the importance of mineral springs to local identity in southern Indiana. The region is defined by a dense network of small agricultural settlements and crossroads like Tennyson, Folsomville, and Gentryville, all linked by the Southern railroad. The geography is characterized by the winding path of Little Pigeon Creek and its tributaries, including Pokeberry Creek and Sugar Tree Creek, which dictated the early township boundaries of Lane, Pigeon, and Skelton. This 1902 survey, reprinted in 1936, captures a rural economy still largely dependent on rail transport, as seen in the Evansville Division and Rockport Branch lines. Genealogists can trace the location of long-standing family communities such as Scalesville, Dickeyville, and Hemenway before modern development shifted the regional footprint.
