About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices across the northeastern corner of this Warrick County landscape, serving as a reminder of early territorial demarcations in southern Indiana. By the early 1960s, the region is defined by a dense network of strip mines and industrial activity, most notably the Tecumseh Mine. This heavy extraction industry exists alongside a traditional rural fabric of small communities and crossroads such as Folsomville, Scalesville, and Dickeyville.

A high concentration of local landmarks, such as Log Creek Ch and Johnson Chapel, indicates a well-established social network within the townships. Waterways like the Patoka River and Barren Fork meander through the terrain, occasionally diverted by ditches or bordered by family-named cemeteries like Ashby Cem and Leslie Cem. The presence of the Lincoln Trail further anchors the area's historical identity amidst its mid-century industrial transformation.
