2022 Map of Modesto

About this map

Beanblossom Creek winds through the heart of this landscape, marking the transition between the rolling uplands of southern Indiana and the river bottomlands. Near the northern edge, the White River defines the border as the map spans the line between Morgan and Monroe Counties. The settlement of Modesto and the outskirts of Ellettsville anchor the local geography, surrounded by a network of family-named hollows and cemeteries that speak to the area's deep-rooted genealogy. Locations like Sodom Cem, Elliott Cem, and King Cem are preserved among the ridges, while conservation efforts are visible through the Sycamore Land Trust Trails. The terrain is characterized by intricate drainage patterns, including Indian Cr and Jacks Defeat Creek, which have shaped the settlement patterns and road networks like Mt Pleasant Rd and Paragon Rd over generations.
