About this map

White Lick Creek and its various forks carve through this rural landscape along the boundary of Boone and Hendricks counties. The 1963 revision highlights a traditional agricultural region transitioning with modern infrastructure, including several prominent Pipeline corridors and the Pennsylvania Railroad cutting diagonally across the northeastern corner. Smaller unincorporated communities like Milledgeville and Fayette serve as local hubs, anchored by neighborhood landmarks such as Mt Tabor Ch and Central Sch.

Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped cemeteries and churches that define the social fabric of Center, Harrison, and Perry townships. Locations such as Mt Union Cem and Smith Cem are precisely placed alongside early routes like West 131st Street. The inclusion of the White Lick Golf Course near Fayette signals the beginning of recreational land use in an area otherwise dominated by drainage systems like Edlin Ditch and Lucas Ditch.
