About this map

Koleen and Doans anchor this Greene County landscape, where the southern reaches of the township meet the Greene and Martin County line. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including Taylor Ridge, Haney Ridge, and the sharply named Hard Scrabble Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Sassafras Rd and Hickory Rd. Numerous family and community cemeteries are scattered across the uplands, such as Howell Cem, Robinson Cem, and Wollam Cem, offering a clear map for genealogical research in the area.

Water plays a central role in the geography, from the broad expanse of Greenwood Lake at the southern border to the intricate drainage of Plummer Creek, Clifty Branch, and Doans Cr. These waterways cut through the ridges, creating distinctive hollows like Happy Hollow. The presence of Rankin Spring and Osborne Spring further highlights the complex local hydrology that has shaped the settlement patterns and agricultural development of these southwestern Indiana townships.
