About this map

The agricultural plains where Madison and Hancock counties meet are defined by an intricate network of drainage ditches and creeks. Settled areas like Pendleton and Markleville anchor the northern reaches of the map, while smaller communities such as Milners Corner, Warrington, and Willow Branch punctuate the southern landscape. The terrain is relatively flat, necessitating the extensive water management seen in Manifold Ditch, Dunwoody Ditch, and March and Trees Ditch, which redirect flow toward Sugar Creek.

For those tracing local lineage, several family-named burial sites are located throughout the rural sections, including Walker Cem, Bunker Cem, and Reeves Cem. Modern infrastructure and historic settlement patterns coexist, as evidenced by the proximity of Harter Flying Field Airport to established road networks like State Road 234 and the community of Nashville. This survey offers a clear view of the rural intersection of these two central Indiana counties in the early twenty-first century.
