About this map

Clark State Forest dominates this section of southern Indiana, where the terrain breaks into the distinctive knobs of Clark and Scott counties. The Pennsylvania railroad line serves as a central artery for the eastern settlements, connecting Underwood and Henryville. Near the northern boundary, the Pigeon Roost Memorial commemorates a significant site of local frontier history.

Agricultural and conservation interests meet at the Purdue University Forestry Camp, while numerous small water bodies like Schlamm Lake, Franke Lake, and Oak Lake dot the managed forest landscape. Local genealogy is well-represented through isolated landmarks such as New Chapel Ch, Mountain Grove Cem, and Walnut Chapel. The map reveals a complex network of named drainage features, including the descriptive Wrong Run, Right Branch, and Sticky Run, which define the deep ravines below Rock Knob and Round Knob.
