About this map

The White River flows along the western edge of this 1970s landscape, bordering the rich lowlands of Bogard Bottoms. This era in southwestern Indiana is marked by a blend of agricultural tradition and federal defense operations, as the eastern portion of the quadrangle is occupied by the U S Naval Reservation Weapons Support Center. Significant rural infrastructure remains visible, such as a Covered Bridge spanning Plummer Creek near the settlement of Mineral City.

Genealogists and local historians can find a dense network of family landmarks and country congregations, including Antioch Ch and Mt Nebo Ch. Scattered cemeteries like Gilbreath Cem, Simpson Chapel Cem, and Ferguson Cem are found across the townships of Richland and Washington. The transportation corridor is anchored by the Conrail line and numerous named local roads like 700 South Road, while the landscape is dotted with oil and gas wells reflecting the region's extractive history.
