About this map

S Br Hefty Cr and the W Br Little Sugar River define the northern drainage of this agricultural landscape in Green County. The terrain is structured by prominent ridgelines, including Dividing Ridge Rd, which separates the various creek systems that flow through the township. Family names are deeply embedded in the geography, seen in local landmarks and burial grounds such as Shooks Prairie Cem and the Benkert Cem.

Transport and utility in the region are represented by the Flying H Airport and a dense network of country roads like Skinner Hollow Rd and Holstein Prairie Rd. The map reveals a transition from traditional farming tracts to modern rural development, particularly near the southern boundary toward Monroe. Waterways like Buckskin School Cr and Argus School Br suggest the locations of early rural education centers that once anchored these farming communities.
