2013 Map of Freedom

About this map

The White River winds through this rural landscape of southwestern Indiana, defining the geography of small agricultural settlements and wooded ridges. This area is anchored by several distinct communities, from Freedom along the river to Newark in the southern reaches. The map reflects a deeply rooted rural infrastructure, where local life follows the topography of Stokey Ridge and Kelley Ridge. Historical transport routes are evident in labels like Big Four Rd, hinting at the region's former rail connectivity, while numerous watercourses such as Raccoon Cr and Lick Cr drain the fertile valleys. Central to the quadrangle are smaller nodes like Pottersville and New Hope, which serve as connecting points for a network of county roads that have supported Owen County's farm-to-market economy for generations.
