About this map

Little York and the nearby hamlet of Pumpkin Center sit at a crossroads of agriculture and aviation in Washington County. The terrain transitions from the low-lying wetlands of the Muscatatuck River and Cammie-Thomas Ditch in the north to the deeply incised valleys of the south. This rugged southern portion is defined by a dense network of family-named features, including Herron Hollow, Rutherford Hollow, and Dowling Hollow, which carve into the ridges around Vic Swaim Hill.

Local history is preserved in the placement of Ridlen Cem and Steep Hollow Cem, while modern recreation is marked by the path of the Knobstone Trail traversing the hillsides. The map illustrates a complex drainage system where the West Fork Blue River and Middle Fork Blue River originate, contrasting with the small-scale aviation presence at Little York Airport. The settlement of New Philadelphia anchors the southwestern corner, connected by a network of rural roads that follow the natural contours of the Indiana landscape.
