2019 Map of Gatchel

About this map

Hoosier National Forest defines much of the topography in this 2019 survey of Perry County, Indiana, where deep drainage patterns like Hogan Hollow and Harpenau Hollow cut through a series of prominent ridges. Small communities such as Ranger, Gatchel, and Lilly Dale are connected by a network of rural roads, while Tipsaw Lake and Mill Lake provide significant water features in the northern hills. The landscape is notably dotted with numerous small family and community burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research in the area around Terry. Significant infrastructure includes the Perry County Municipal Airport located in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map details a transition from high ridges like Saint Joe Ridge and French Ridge down to the winding course of the Middle Fork Anderson River.
