About this map

Spencer serves as the focal point of this Indiana landscape, situated where the White River bends through the southeastern corner. The town’s layout is documented alongside Southport, with the nearby Riverside Cem and River Hill Cem providing significant reference points for local genealogy. The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations, including Cooksey Hill, Gaston Hill, and Wolfe Hill, which overlook a network of watercourses such as Fish Creek and Rattlesnake Creek.

In the western reaches, the settlement of Vandalia sits near the Saint Walley Cem and Palestine Cem. The presence of Miller Airport and named roads like Hancock School RD indicates the distribution of rural infrastructure. Smaller water bodies like Dugan Lake and Ralph Ketchum Lake are scattered across the quadrangle, reflecting the drainage patterns that feed into the larger river system. This survey preserves a detailed view of Owen County's rural and town life in the mid-2010s.
