About this map

The White River winds through the southern landscape of this 2016 survey, where the settlement of Perkinsville sits at a historic crossing point. This area of Madison County is characterized by its organized grid of county roads and a network of agricultural drainage systems, including McClure Ditch and Swanfelt Ditch. To the northeast, Frankton serves as the primary population center, showing a dense street layout including Maple St and Jefferson St.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the density of family and community burial grounds. Researchers can locate the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem near Frankton, as well as smaller rural sites like Neese Cem, Shell Cem, and Howard Cem. The presence of Stottlemyer Airport north of Pipe Creek illustrates the integration of modern light aviation into this traditional Indiana farming landscape.
