About this map

The White River anchors the southern landscape of this central Indiana quadrangle, where the border of Tipton and Hamilton counties bisects a territory dominated by small farming settlements and an intricate drainage network. At the start of the 1960s, the rural character of the region is evident in the cluster of small communities such as Omega, Aroma, and Walnut Grove. The terrain is defined by several waterways, including Duck Creek, Cicero Creek, and Bear Creek, which traverse the flat agricultural land.

Genealogists will find significant local history in the numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Buscher Cem, Carey Cem, and Newland Cem. Religious life is marked by Harveys Chapel and Bethlehem Ch, while the surveyor's inclusion of fine red dashed lines indicates fence and field boundaries visible from 1958 aerial photography, offering a detailed view of the era's land use and property divisions.
