2016 Map of Mount Pleasant

About this map

Summit Lake Reservoir and Prairie Cr Reservoir dominate the landscape of this eastern Indiana region, where the headwaters of the Big Blue River and Buck Creek converge. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of drainage ditches and runs, such as Gibson Ditch, Sheetz Ditch, and Cliff Ditch, which supported the agricultural development of Henry and Delaware Counties. The map documents several small crossroads settlements, including Luray, Rogersville, and Mount Pleasant, which served as local hubs for the surrounding farming community. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the townships, from the Lebanon Cemetery in the south to Macedonia Cemetery and Fairview Cemetery further north. This modern survey provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure, including Starkey's Airport and the Prairie Creek Multi-Use Trail, illustrating how the land has transitioned between utility and recreation.
