About this map

The White River defines the western landscape of this Hamilton County region, where the town of Riverwood and the smaller community of Clare sit at a sharp bend in the channel. Infrastructure supporting the local economy is prominent, including a Powerplant, several Substations, and a Gaging Sta along the riverbank. This area preserves a transition between the established streets of Noblesville to the southwest and the dispersed agricultural settlements of Strawtown, Durbin, and Clarksville.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural landmarks, such as Victory Chapel and Union Ch, alongside resting places like Zimmer Cem and Stony Creek Cem. The transition from rural to modern life is evident in the presence of both the Drive-in Theater near the County Home and traditional features like the Consolidated Sch. The drainage network, essential for central Indiana farming, is meticulously mapped through Stony Creek, Sand Creek, and the Gwinn Ditch.
