About this map

The White River winds through the southeastern portion of this landscape, anchoring the regional center of Spencer. This river corridor is a primary focal point for local history, featuring numerous burial grounds such as Riverside Cemetery, River Hill Cemetery, and Blair Cemetery. Away from the river, the terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Rattlesnake Creek and East Fork Fish Creek, interspersed with prominent high points like Gaston Hill and Cooksey Hill.

The rural character of the area is evidenced by small settlements and established nodes such as Vandalia, Southport, and Hancock Corner. For those researching family history, the map provides precise locations for scattered cemeteries across the countryside, including the Kaufman Cemetery, Fender Cemetery, and Witham Cemetery. Aviation history is represented by Miller Airport, while the western edge of the quadrangle shows the varied landscape around Thomas Lake and Cottons Little Pine Lake.
