About this map

Dugger and Cass anchor this portion of Sullivan County, Indiana, where the land is defined by a dense network of small settlements and a modified hydraulic landscape. The presence of features like the New Harmony Mine Pond and several reservoirs, including Reservoir North and Reservoir South, points to the region's industrial history, likely connected to coal mining and subsequent land reclamation. This human imprint is further evidenced by a high density of small family or community burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as Brodie Cemetery, Houck Cemetery, and Smith Cemetery.

A network of small communities—Scotchtown, Jericho, Stringtown, Gambill, and Shiloh—suggests a historical pattern of clustered rural living. Natural and man-made water bodies including Narrow Lake, Buttermilk Creek, and Busseron Creek weave through the terrain, managed by structures like Busseron Dam Number B-2. This survey provides a clear view of the area's transition from a natural watershed to an engineered landscape of ponds and rural crossroads.
