Sunman anchors the northwest corner of this survey, where the CSX rail line cuts through the drainage divide between Ripley Cr and W Fork Tanners Cr. The landscape transitions from the relatively level agricultural fields near the town of Milan into the deeply incised valleys of the east, where Union Ridge and Holman Ridge rise above the confluence of N Hogan Cr and Little Hogan Cr. This territory is defined by the historic border between Ripley and Dearborn counties, a line traced by N Co Line Rd. Throughout the hills, small settlements like Weisburg and New Alsace are marked by family-named landmarks and several burying grounds, including Saint Pauls Cem and the Franklin Church Cem. The mapping of small local tributaries such as Buttermilk Run and Coyote Run illustrates the complex topography that historically directed rural road development and early Hoosier settlement patterns.
