About this map

The White River winds through the heart of this landscape, carving a path between the tri-county borders of Owen, Morgan, and Monroe. Historically significant settlements like Gosport and Stinesville anchor the region, the latter positioned near the meandering Beanblossom Creek. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological and topographical markers, from the elevations of Arganbright Hill to the unique Wolf Natural Bridges.

Transport and community history are evident in the path of the Inrd railroad and several preserved burial grounds, including the Van Buskirk Cem and Mount Carmel Cem. These sites, along with smaller locales like Romona and Silex, offer a clear look at the rural Indiana settlement patterns that persist into the 21st century. The drainage network of Jacks Defeat Creek and McCormicks Cr further illustrates how the waterways shaped the placement of early homesteads and roads like Drunkards Pike.
