About this map

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad cuts an east-west path across this mid-century landscape, connecting the village of Hayden to the growing hub of North Vernon at the upper edge of the quadrangle. The terrain is deeply defined by the winding course of the Fork Muscatatuck River and its numerous tributaries, including Sixmile Creek and Twomile Creek, which separate small agricultural clearings.

Genealogists will find a wealth of rural landmarks, including the Township Sch and several parish centers such as St Josephs Ch, Zion Ch, and Tea Creek Ch. The map also documents numerous family and community burial sites like Whitcomb Cem, Sullivan Cem, and Marsh Cem, providing a clear record of settlement patterns across Spencer and Lovett townships. In the east, the Crosley State Game Preserve marks a significant area of conservation along the wooded river bluffs.
