About this map

Spartanburg and Bartonia anchor this rural landscape straddling the Indiana-Ohio border, where the terrain rises to include Hoosier Hill, the highest natural point in Indiana. This 2010 survey details a region defined by a grid of county roads and numerous small watercourses like Greenville Creek, Spartanburg Creek, and the Middle Fork East Fork Whitewater River. Several historic cemeteries, including Clemens Cemetery and Bass Cemetery, are scattered among the agricultural fields, providing valuable touchstones for genealogists.

Small clusters of settlement such as Arba, Crete, and Tampico illustrate the enduring pattern of rural hamlets that once served local farming families. The presence of Bartonia Cemetery near the northern edge and Chapel Cemetery to the south reflects the deep-rooted community history of Darke and Randolph Counties. Drainage features such as Dismal Creek and Harshman Ditch reveal the engineered landscape required to support the local agriculture.
