About this map

The tri-county boundary where Franklin, Ripley, and Dearborn counties meet defines the social and civic landscape of this corner of southeastern Indiana. Numerous unincorporated settlements and rural junctions like Youngs Corner, Klemmes Corner, and Oak Tree Crossroads are connected by a dense network of country roads including Saint Mary Rd and Lammers Pike. The terrain is deeply etched by the drainage of Blue Creek and Pipe Creek, which creates a complex series of ridges and hollows that historically dictated the placement of early farmsteads and cemeteries.
