About this map

The Big Blue River and its numerous tributaries, including Prairie Run and Sixmile Cr, define the agricultural and residential layout of this central Indiana landscape. At the heart of the sheet, Morristown serves as a primary settlement hub, flanked by the smaller communities of Gwynneville and Freeport. The area is marked by a legacy of early family life and settlement, evidenced by the presence of Davis Cem, Asbury Cem, and Haskett Cem.

Transport and navigation are shaped by the river valley and the local road network, which follows a rigid section-line grid typical of the region. Distinctive local landmarks such as Hog Back offer subtle relief in the terrain, while the Willis Airport and its associated site reflect the more modern utility of the land. The map also records several county boundaries, where the edges of Shelby, Hancock, and Rush counties meet amidst the creeks and runs that feed the Blue River system.
