About this map

White River meanders through this portion of Owen County, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a dense concentration of family burial grounds. The community of Freedom sits near the river's edge in the northwest, while smaller hamlets like Pottersville, New Hope, and Newark are connected by a network of winding county roads such as Pottersville-New Hope Rd.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of named cemeteries, reflecting generations of local family history, including the Hicks Cemetery, Burkett Cemetery, and Leach Cemetery. The terrain is marked by significant landforms like Stokey Ridge and Kelley Ridge, while the hydrological network is fed by numerous tributaries including Raccoon Creek and Lick Creek. This map captures the region's enduring character as a collection of established agricultural communities and historic homesteads.
