About this map

The White River carves a complex, winding path through this Indiana landscape, creating a series of distinctive landforms including Long Bed, Birch Bed, and Sipes Bed. This 2011 survey documents the rural character of Greene County, where small settlements like Lyons, Bushrod, and Beehunter are connected by a network of drainage channels such as Beehunter Ditch and Wells Ditch, reflecting the long-term management of the river's floodplain for agriculture.

Genealogists can find numerous burial grounds throughout the region, including Mount Zion Cemetery and the Old Slinkard Cemetery near Newberry. The topographic detail also highlights local landmarks like Morgan Hill and Simpson Hill, which rise above the river valley. To the south, the settlement of Elnora sits near the Grindstone Branch, while the small Benham Airport serves as a modern marker in this traditional farming area.
