About this map

The confluence of the White River and the E Fork White River anchors this southwestern Indiana landscape, where the shifting river channels have carved numerous oxbows and water bodies. Small settlements like Sandy Hook and Rogers are situated near the banks, illustrating the historic reliance on these waterways for transport and irrigation. The terrain is characterized by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous named ponds such as Jackson Pond, Wonder Pond, and Horseshoe Pond, which likely serve as remnants of former river courses.

Further inland, the community of Cumback and the small hamlet of Thomas sit amidst a grid of rural county roads, including Troy Rd and Horrall Rd. Local drainage is managed through a network of creeks like Veale Cr, Aikman Cr, and Mud Cr, which thread between agricultural plots. In the southern portion of the map, Highbank Town overlooks the winding path of the East Fork, marking a point where the elevation rises slightly above the flood-prone river bottoms.
