About this map

Paragon serves as the central hub of this landscape, situated just north of the White River in Morgan County. The terrain to the north is defined by a series of prominent elevations including Gallimore Hill, Goat Hill, and the notable Big Hurricane Hill. This area shows a persistent rural pattern where small settlements like Wakeland and Plano are connected by a network of ridge-running roads such as Hancock Ridge Rd and W Big Hurricane Rd.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds throughout the countryside, including Ratts Cem, Lingle Cem, and Stout Cem. The inclusion of the Bluebird Airport and Guthrie Lake Dam reflects the mid-to-late 20th-century development of local infrastructure alongside traditional landmarks like Browns Crossing and Whitaker. The drainage of Burkhart Cr and Fall Cr creates a complex system of hollows that has historically dictated the placement of homesteads and connector roads in this part of Indiana.
