About this map

The White River meanders sharply through this landscape on the border of Knox, Gibson, and Pike counties, creating a complex network of wetlands and oxbows. Small settlements like Iona and Ridgeville serve as central points for the surrounding agricultural townships of Harrison, Johnson, and Madison. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features including Half Moon Pond, Long Pond, and Ten Acre Pond, which illustrate the river's historical shifts and its influence on the local geography.

Genealogists will find a wealth of site-specific data through the numerous family and community landmarks recorded during the mid-20th century. Scattered across the hills and valleys are religious and burial sites such as Trinity Ch, St Peters Cem, and the Odd Fellows Cem. Infrastructure of the era is represented by a growing network of Oil Wells and a prominent pipeline corridor, reflecting the industrial character of the region during this period of revision.
