About this map

The White River and its accompanying Bogard Bottoms define the western landscape of this mid-century Greene County study. The terrain shifts from the flat alluvial lands of Fairplay and Washington townships into the dissected uplands of Taylor and Cass. Of significant historical interest is the southeastern portion of the sheet, dominated by the US Naval Reservation Crane Ammunition Depot, which reshaped local land use and residency after its mid-century establishment.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the central community of Scotland to smaller hubs like Mineral City and Doans. Numerous rural religious and burial sites are recorded, including Simpson Chapel, Mt Nebo Cem, and the Hasler Cem. Modern cultural shifts are also visible, noted by the inclusion of a Drive-in Theater along the highway and the Airway Radio Relay Sta on a high ridge near the town of Antioch.
