2016 Map of Paragon

About this map

Paragon stands as the primary hub of this Morgan County landscape, situated just north of the White River and its accompanying wetlands. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises including Shumaker Hill, Big Hurricane Hill, and Goat Hill, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like W Base Line Rd and Old State Rd 67. The settlement pattern reveals numerous small communities and historic markers, such as Plano, Wakeland, and the rail-aligned Whitaker. For those tracing local heritage, the map is densely populated with family and community burial grounds, from the Stierwalt Cem in the west to the Bethlehem Cem and Mount Gilead Cem in the east. Small aviation and water management features like Bluebird Airport and the Guthrie Lake Dam emphasize the 21st-century infrastructure layered over this traditional agricultural and riverine corridor.
