About this map

Milltown and Marengo anchor this pocket of Southern Indiana, where the Blue River carves a winding path through a landscape of distinct knobs and hollows. The river's dramatic meander creates The Narrows, a prominent geological feature just south of Milltown. Local industry and commerce of the early 21st century are rooted in the area's geography, seen in the location of Sharps Mill downstream and the cluster of settlements like Hogtown and Carefree along the regional road network.

Elevated landmarks like Pilot Knob and Buzzard Roost Hill define the horizon, while a network of drainage systems—including Whiskey Run, Slick Run, and Dry Run—feed into the river valley. For the local historian, the map details the transition between established town centers and rural ridges such as White Oak Ridge and Shafer Ridge, providing a clear view of the area's modern footprint atop its traditional topographic foundations.
