About this map

Mc Cormicks Creek State Park anchors this landscape where the White River meanders past limestone outcrops and historic transportation corridors. The settlement of Gosport sits at a strategic bend in the river, served by the Conrail and Louisville and Nashville railroads. The area's geological character is evident in the numerous quarries near Stinesville and Romona, highlighting the region's long-standing stone industry.

Away from the riverbanks, the terrain is dotted with rural landmarks including the Wolf Cave and several country houses of worship like Mt Olive Ch and the Chafin Memorial Ch. Long-standing property and political divisions are marked by the Treaty Line Road, which tracks across the uplands. This map documents a period of transition where traditional river and rail commerce met modern developments like the Drive-in Theater near the northern boundary.
