About this map

The White River and Lick Creek valley define the eastern boundary of this Morgan County landscape, where the town of Mooresville serves as a primary hub. The map reveals a mid-century rural-to-suburban shift, evidenced by residential developments like Sundown Manor and Brookmoor alongside established agricultural townships like Gregg and Monroe. Cultural and community centers are well-represented, including the Goethe Link Observatory and numerous youth camps such as Camp Riley and Camp Bradford.

Industry and transport are woven into the terrain, from the Conrail tracks to small-scale aviation at Milhon Airport and Kelly Airfield. Local history and genealogy researchers will find several well-marked burial grounds including Highland Cem and Beech Grove Cem, while the southern reaches near Centerton and Bethany show evidence of local resource extraction through various clay and shale pits near the river.
