Morgantown stands at the northern edge of this landscape where Morgan, Brown, and Johnson Counties meet. The terrain transitions from the relatively flat agricultural lands near Sedwick Ditch and Indian Creek into the heavily wooded ridges and hollows characteristic of the southern Indiana highlands. This topography is defined by prominent landmarks like Cooks Hill, Carmel Ridge, and Oak Ridge, which separate numerous small watersheds. A high density of private and community water bodies is evident, ranging from larger recreational sites like Lake Lemon and Lake LaSalle to smaller tucked-away features such as Hungry Acres Lake and Linger Longer Lake.
