About this map

Richland City serves as a central hub in this Spencer County landscape, where a dense grid of county roads connects scattered agricultural settlements. The terrain is defined by a complex network of man-made and natural drainage, including Hooppole Ditch and the Robert Richard Drain, which manage the water levels of the low-lying areas near the Willow Pond Bed. These drainage patterns reflect the region's long-standing effort to reclaim fertile land for farming.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named burial grounds, such as Broshears Cemetery, Graff Cemetery, and Richardson Cemetery, which anchor the small communities of New Hope, Bullocktown, and Hatfield. To the south, the settlement of Eureka sits near the confluence of Baker Creek and Willow Pond Ditch. The presence of Brauns Airport and the distinct elevation of Sand Ridge provide notable navigational landmarks amidst the repetitive geometry of the section lines and farm plots.
