2011 Map of Monroe City

About this map

Monroe City and Petersburg anchor this topographical study of the White River valley, where the landscape transitions from the developed streets of the county seat to the expansive bottomlands and oxbows of Sevenmile Bend. The river’s path dictates the local geography, flanked by landmarks like The Bluffs and Bartons Location. Historically significant sites, such as the Walnut Hill Cemetery and Freeland Cemetery, are preserved alongside rural clusters like Five Points and Pond Creek Mills. The drainage network, including Patrick Ditch and Frick Ditch, highlights the region's managed hydrology, while bodies of water like Warner Lake, Clear Pond, and Long Pond suggest a terrain rich in natural depressions and former river channels. This era of the landscape is defined by its rural road grid, connecting outlying points such as Beech Hills and Lucky Point to the primary river crossing at Petersburg.
