2013 Map of Plainville

About this map

The White River meanders heavily through this Daviess County landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and secondary channels such as the Smothers Cr Cutoff. The settlement of Plainville serves as a local hub, situated near the winding Smothers Cr and Hanna Cr. Further north, Westphalia and the transit point at Wagner Station anchor the agricultural plains. This 2013 survey illustrates a sophisticated hydraulic system designed to manage the low-lying terrain, including the Killion Canal and several significant drainage features like Singer Ditch, Linnewebber Ditch, and Hawes Ditch. To the south, Harbstreit Hill provides a rare point of elevation in a region otherwise defined by its waterways. The presence of N'Meier Airport reflects the continued integration of modern transportation with the established rural road grid.
