About this map

Waggoner Knobs and Timer Ridge anchor the western reaches of this Clark County landscape, where the terrain drops into the drainage basins of the Muddy Fork and Silver Creek. The area is characterized by several small crossroads communities, including Bennettsville and Wilson, which remain distinct amidst the expanding suburban influence of the Interstate 65 corridor. To the north, Deam Lake and the smaller Lake Hideaway provide significant water features in an otherwise wooded and agricultural setting.

Genealogists will find a cluster of well-documented family and community burial grounds, such as Miller Cem, Hickory Grove Cem, and Allen Cem, which help track the early settlement patterns of the region. The map also captures the educational presence of Ivy Tech Community College-South Central near Hamburg, illustrating the modern development adjacent to established landmarks like Saint Joseph Hill.
