About this map

East Fork White River defines the southern boundary of this 1940s landscape, where Daviess, Pike, and Dubois counties meet at the water's edge. The terrain is a network of rural settlements and family landmarks, with Glendale and Hudsonville serving as central points for the surrounding agricultural community. Narrow roads like Alfordsville Road and Montgomery Road connect these hamlets, crossing Aikman Creek and Mud Creek as they traverse the undulating topography north of the river.

Local life is anchored by a significant number of country churches and schools, including East Union Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and Corning Sch. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds such as Glencoe Cem and Brown Cem. Evidence of early industry appears near the river at High Rock, where a Coal Mine is noted, while the Straight Road Bridge provides a vital crossing over the East Fork.
