About this map

Blountsville, Losantville, and Modoc anchor this section of eastern Indiana, where the borders of Delaware, Randolph, Henry, and Wayne counties converge. This landscape is defined by its agricultural grid and a network of small creeks and runs that fed the early rural economy. Nettle Cr and the Little White River flow through the central portion of the map, while the headwaters of the Flatrock River and Wilbur Wright Cr appear in the southwest corner.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Poplar Run Cem, Nettle Creek Cem, and the Scott Cem near Scott Corner. The mapping of small hamlets like Pinch alongside established village centers provides a clear look at the persistent settlement patterns of the region, where the intersection of local roads such as Main ST and E High ST formed the social hearts of these farming communities.
