About this map

Lyons sits at the northern edge of this agricultural and riparian landscape where Greene, Knox, and Daviess counties converge. The meandering White River dictates the local geography, creating complex loops and backwaters such as Sipes Bed, Birch Bed, and Nail Bed. This area is heavily managed by an intricate network of drainage features, including Beehunter Ditch, Fourmile Ditch, and Timmons Ditch, which support the surrounding farmland.

Smaller settlements like Newberry and Elnora are connected by a grid of rural roads and county lines. For those researching family history, several burial grounds are preserved across the terrain, including Mount Zion Cem near Bushrod, and both the Slinkard Cem and Old Slinkard Cem located south of Newberry. Elevated points like Morgan Hill and Brewer Hill rise above the river bottomlands, while Benham Airport serves the region's aviation needs east of the river.
