About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts a sharp diagonal across this section of southern Indiana, marking a legacy of frontier expansion. Centered on the community of Georgia, the landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the Hoosier National Forest and the complex drainage of the Lost River system. The Baltimore and Ohio RR serves as a primary east-west transportation artery, connecting smaller settlements like Moorestown to the wider region.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural institutions, such as Bonds Chapel and Tincher Cem. The terrain is characterized by a series of deep hollows, including Tincher Hollow and Wadsworth Hollow, which shaped the early development patterns of townships like Spice Valley and Orangeville. From the heights of Gobblers Knob to the flats near Hindostan, this map preserves the spatial arrangement of a community deeply tied to its varied topography.
