About this map

Pilot Grove anchors the northern edge of this Cooper County landscape, situated where the high prairie begins its descent into a network of creek valleys. The area is defined by its small agricultural settlements, including Pleasant Green and New Lebanon, which are connected by a web of rural routes like Mount Moriah Rd and Georgetown Dr. These communities grew around the fertile drainages of the Lamine River and Honey Creek, reflecting a late-twentieth-century rural character that maintains its historical footprints through sites like Saint Joseph Cemetery and Mount Vernon Cemetery.

A complex hydraulic system of branches and creeks, such as Taylor Branch and Coon Creek, carves through the terrain, dictating the placement of farmsteads and roads. The presence of Crossroads School Dr points to the area's social history, marking the location of local institutions that served this farming region. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure in the early 2010s, from the layout of Harriston to the winding course of the West Fork Petite Saline Creek.
