2013 Map of Fayette

About this map

White Lick Creek and its complex network of managed waterways define the agrarian landscape of eastern Hendricks County in this 2013 survey. The area maintains a pattern of dispersed rural settlements, from Fayette in the east to Milledgeville at the western edge. These small centers are connected by a rigid grid of county roads that navigate the drainage basins of Fishback Creek and the West Fork White Lick Creek. Significant effort in land management is evident through numerous named drainage projects such as Wiley Thompson Ditch, Beaman Ditch, and Edlin Ditch, which support the surrounding agricultural fields. Near the community of Fayette, the White Lick Golf Course represents a transition in land use, while landmarks like Seven Mile Prairie and Herr provide anchor points for local history and genealogical research in this part of Indiana.
