About this map

The White River carves a winding path through this mid-1960s landscape, serving as a natural boundary between Owen and Monroe Counties. Along its southern banks, Mc Cormicks Creek State Park preserves the local geography, featuring landmarks like Wolf Cave and a Lookout Tower. The region is defined by a dense concentration of limestone extraction, with numerous labels for Quarry and Quarries dotting the hills around Stinesville and Romona, highlighting the industrial backbone of the area during this era.

Settlement patterns are anchored by the town of Gosport, where the Pennsylvania and Monon railroads intersect. Away from the rail lines, rural life is marked by several small congregations and burial grounds, including the Old Dutch Ch and Mt Olive Ch. Family-named landmarks such as Arganheight Hill and Highets Corner provide specific points of interest for those researching the genealogy of these central Indiana townships.
