About this map

The boundary between Daviess Co Caldwell Co defines the lower third of this mid-1980s landscape, where the rural settlement of Nettleton sits at the intersection of local roads and rail lines. To the south, the city limits of Hamilton extend into the corner of the map, marking the most developed area on the sheet. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including the westward flow of Honey Creek and Marrowbone Creek.

In the northeast, the Grand River meanders past an Old Channel, reflecting the shifting nature of the local river system over time. Large portions of the northern terrain are dedicated to the Gallatin State Wildlife Area, providing a significant contrast to the surrounding agricultural parcels. Genealogists and local historians can trace the paths of numerous named tributaries like Lick Fork, Bear Branch, and Haw Branch as they wind through the townships of Monroe, Sheridan, and Liberty.
