2022 Map of Freedom

About this map

White River meanders through this portion of Indiana, carving a path between the settlements of Freedom and Pottersville. The landscape is defined by the winding valley and elevated terrain like Stokey Ridge and Kelley Ridge, where a dense network of country roads connects family cemeteries and small communities. These burial sites, including Hicks Cem and Heddings Chapel Cem, are scattered across the townships, reflecting the deep-rooted rural settlement patterns of the region. The map captures the meeting of several townships, including t9n r4w and t9n r3w, along the border of Owen and Greene counties. From the crossroads at New Hope to the banks of Richland Creek, the area remains characterized by its riparian geography and numerous small-scale rural landmarks that have persisted through generations of family farming.
