About this map

Odon serves as the primary hub of this landscape at the intersection of Daviess and Martin counties, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cuts across the agricultural plains. The map reveals a dense network of rural community landmarks, particularly south of town in Van Buren township. Here, the landscape transitions from the flatlands near Prairie Creek into the more varied terrain of Hickory Ridge.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific sites, from the Walnut Hill Cem on the outskirts of Odon to the rural St Josephs Ch near Bramble. The presence of several Oil Wells indicates localized energy extraction, while small settlements like Raglesville and Farlen mark the junctions of country roads. Waterways including the North Fork West Boggs Creek and First Creek define the drainage of this interior Indiana territory during the mid-1970s.
