About this map

Everton and Blooming Grove serve as the primary anchors for this rural landscape where Fayette, Union, and Franklin counties meet. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the significant waters of Brookville Lake, which occupies the valley of the East Fork Whitewater River. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural grid and scattered small settlements that have characterized this portion of eastern Indiana for generations.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Hanson-Crandel Cem near Alquina and the Old Parrot Cem further south. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Duck Cr and Wilson Cr carving through the terrain towards the larger basin. The map tracks the rural road network including S State Rd 1, which connects these crossroads communities and provides access to the shoreline of the reservoir.
