About this map

Laughery Creek carves a deep, winding valley through Ripley County, defining the western edge of this landscape where Versailles State Park dominates the terrain. The park area is detailed with its Park Campground, Park Beach, and a notable Covered Bridge crossing the creek. This survey, based on 1940s topography and 1960s revisions, illustrates a rural Indiana community structured by section-line roads such as 300 North Road and 200 South Road.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites and places of worship, including Marble Corner Cem, Henderson Cem, and Wilson Cem, alongside the Pleasant Hill Ch and Green Chapel. The town of Milan is situated in the northeast corner, showing its residential layout and rail-adjacent industry like the Sewage Disposal plant. Smaller crossroads settlements like Stringtown and Elrod remain key points of interest for those tracing family history in the townships of Franklin, Washington, and Johnson.
