About this map

Whitesville and Philpot anchor this portion of Daviess County, where the landscape is defined by the intricate drainages of the Panther Creek system. The map reveals a dense network of country roads named for local families, such as Jack Hinton Rd, Monarch Rd, and Millers Mill Rd, tracing the rural development of the region. Low-lying wetlands and agricultural improvements are evident through features like Bailey Ditch, which channel water toward the N Fork Panther Cr.

Smaller community centers like Grandview, Habit, and Boston appear along the highways, while the southern edge follows the winding course of Deserter Cr along the boundary with Ohio County. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as Bethbara Cem near the western edge and the curiously named Poplar Log Bridge spanning the southern fork, offering a precise look at the area's geography in the late 2010s.
