2010 Map of Monticello South

About this map

Lake Freeman dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, its shoreline dense with residential developments and seasonal retreats like Gingrich Addition, Scarlet Oaks, and Sandy Beach. The water, held by the Oakdale Dam on the Tippecanoe River, represents the transition from the river's natural course to a managed recreational corridor. Away from the water, the terrain is defined by a grid of agricultural drainage, including the Snow Ditch and Big Creek, supporting the towns of Reynolds, Chalmers, and the smaller settlement at Smithson. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved among the fields, such as Bunnell Cemetery and the Harvey and Phebus Cemetery. The presence of the White County Airport and the expanding footprint of Monticello reflect the area's role as a regional hub for both infrastructure and lakeside living.
