About this map

The White River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, anchoring the larger settlements of Yorktown and Daleville. This region along the boundary of Madison and Delaware Counties is defined by a dense network of minor waterways, including Killbuck Creek, York Prairie Creek, and Pleasant Run Creek. The map documents a transition from these riparian zones to an organized grid of county roads and rail infrastructure that supported a series of smaller rural hubs.

Genealogists and local historians can find several namesake landmarks, including Moonville, Bethel, and Reed Station. These small community centers are marked by significant local sites such as the Moonville Cemetery, Jones Cemetery, and Hawk Cemetery. The survey also captures specific local landmarks like the Diamond P Field and numerous named drainage features such as Johns Ditch and Stewart Ditch, which reveal the intensive agricultural management of the Indiana plains in the modern era.
