About this map

Spring River and White Oak Creek carve through the agricultural landscape of the Jasper and Lawrence County line, anchoring small communities and long-standing family burial grounds. The settlement of La Russell serves as a southern focal point, while the smaller hamlets of Bowers Mill, Plew, and Red Oak dot the northern and central sections. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by its watercourses and a dense network of county and farm roads that link isolated homesteads.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous named sites, including Stemons Cemetery, New Hope Cemetery, and Harvey Cemetery. The map also traces the smaller tributaries like Cave Spring Br and Dry Fork, which feed into the primary river system. This rural landscape remains largely characterized by its township divisions and the enduring placement of these small community centers and family landmarks.
