About this map

Lapel and Fishersburg anchor this 2016 survey along the Hamilton and Madison county line, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Stony Cr and Indian Camp Cr. This portion of Indiana reveals a transition from the structured grid of rural township roads like Atlantic Rd and Lone Oak Rd to the developing corridors of Pendleton and Edgewood Village. The map is particularly useful for local historians, as it documents several burial grounds including Old Woodward Cem, Brookside Cem, and the Nicholson Cem.

Agricultural and small-scale aviation interests are evident through features such as Foghorn Farms Airport and the drainage patterns of Kynett Ditch and Henry Ditch. To the north, the White River clips the corner of the quadrangle near Hamilton, while the southern reaches follow the path of Mud Cr and Thorpe Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of this central Indiana region just before the recent wave of suburban expansion.
