About this map

The Middle Fork Blue River and South Fork Blue River define this rural landscape of southern Indiana, converging in an area marked by small unincorporated communities and winding country roads. Settlements like South Boston and Bunker Hill serve as local anchors, while smaller points such as Bartle and Daisy Hill reflect the region's distributed residential character. The topography is punctuated by prominent high points including Bowers Knob and Williams Knob, which rise above the surrounding creek valleys.

Local history is preserved in several family and community burial grounds, such as Chestnut Hill Cemetery, Mead Cemetery, and Mount Pleasant Cemetery. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Springle Creek, Whiskey Run, and Jeff Branch feeding into the larger river forks. In the western portion of the map, the Peek-A-Boo Lake Dam creates Peek-A-Boo Lake, providing a distinct water feature amidst the predominately agricultural and wooded terrain.
