About this map

The Eel River and the extensive waters of Cagles Mill Lake define the geography of this Owen County landscape. The settlement of Poland sits centrally near Keiser Hill, serving as a focal point for a network of country roads connecting smaller locales like Raab Crossroads and Cagle Mill. The terrain is marked by numerous named rises and depressions, including Cromwell Hill, Drake Hill, and the distinct Owl Hollow.

Water plays a primary role in the local layout, from the recreational shoreline at Hulman Beach to the winding course of Jordan Cr and its northern fork. Genealogists and local historians can trace the relationship between these natural features and early homesteads via old thoroughfares such as N Candlestick Corner Rd and Rooksberry Rd. The map illustrates a rural Indiana community where life remains closely tied to the valleys of Knob Cr and Ahlemeyer Br.
