2016 Map of Linton

About this map

Linton serves as the primary hub of this 2016 survey, where the grid of city streets transitions into the complex drainage patterns of Greene and Sullivan counties. The landscape is heavily marked by water-management features and small settlements like Vicksburg, Midland, and Island City. The presence of numerous burial grounds, including the Old Linton Cem and German Cem, provides a map for genealogists tracing local families across this part of the Indiana coal region. The terrain is defined by a series of named water bodies such as County Line Lake, Harmons Lake, and Willow Slough, which interact with agricultural drainage ditches like Beehunter Ditch. These features, alongside the rail-associated Midland Junction, illustrate the historical development of a landscape shaped by both industry and the management of the West Fork White River watershed.
