About this map

Montgomery and Cannelburg anchor the southern corridor of this Daviess County survey, situated along the path of Old Hwy 50. The surrounding countryside is defined by an extensive network of drainage ditches and creeks, including Eagan Ditch and Oberts Ditch, which support the agricultural tracts of the Indiana interior. To the west of Montgomery, the small settlement of Black Oak sits near the headwaters of Foberty Creek.

Local landmarks such as Saint Peters Cemetery and Stoll Cemetery provide important points for genealogical research, while the various South Fork and North Fork Prairie Creek branches illustrate the natural hydrography of the region. Distinctive water management structures are noted throughout the landscape, such as Prairie Creek Structure Number B-3-1 near Indian Rock Lake, highlighting the infrastructure necessary to manage the flow of Flat Creek and Veale Creek.
