About this map

The White River winds through this southwestern Indiana landscape, defining a complex network of agricultural drainage and flood control as recorded in 2011. The town of Plainville sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, where Hanna Creek and Smothers Creek converge. To the west, the river's influence is seen in the Bennington Levee and the artificial paths of the Killion Canal and Smothers Creek Cutoff.

Smaller settlements and rural junctions like Westphalia, Edwardsport, and Wagner Station anchor the northern and western reaches. For those researching local history or land use, the map details numerous named drainage features including Singer Ditch, Linnewebber Ditch, and Hawes Ditch. These waterways, alongside landmarks such as Harbstreit Hill and the N Meier Airport, illustrate how the natural topography has been modified for late 20th and early 21st-century cultivation.
