About this map

The Treaty Line cuts a significant historical diagonal through this landscape, marking the intersection of Jackson, Jennings, and Harmony townships. This 1970s-era survey documents the rural character of southeastern Indiana, where small settlements like Everton and Alquina serve as local hubs for the surrounding farm country. In the southeast, the creation of Brookville Lake has dramatically altered the topography along the E Fk Whitewater River, flooding the lowlands and creating a new recreational shoreline featuring a Campground.

Local history is preserved in the placement of the Little Children Home and several rural religious sites, including Poplar Ridge Ch and Duck Creek State Chapel. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, where Village Creek, Wilson Creek, and Duck Creek have carved distinct valleys through the upland plains. These watercourses influenced the location of early burial grounds like Mt Garrison Cem and Poplar Ridge Cem, which remain as markers of the area's pioneer heritage.
