About this map

Everton and Alquina anchor this rural landscape in southeastern Indiana, captured here during a period of transition for the local topography. The eastern edge of the map is dominated by the East Fk Whitewater River, which feeds into the expanding Brookville Lake at the bottom right corner, a significant hydrological feature for the region. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Village Creek, Wilson Creek, and Ellys Creek, with elevations rising toward Poplar Ridge.

Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint several community landmarks such as the Mt Garrison Cem and the Little Children Home. The settlement of Blooming Grove sits at the southern edge of the quadrangle, while industrial activity is noted at a Gravel Pit near the northern boundary. The 1970s updates to this survey reflect changes in woodland cover and shoreline development, providing a clear record of the area before modern expansion further altered the rural character of Fayette and Franklin counties.
