About this map

The Hoosier National Forest dominates this section of southern Indiana, where the rugged terrain of the Crawford Upland is deeply dissected by a network of creeks and rivers. Small rural settlements like Taswell and Eckerty sit along the east-west corridor, while Doolittle Mills marks the southern reach near the boundary of Crawford Co Perry Co. The landscape is characterized by prominent ridges such as Tick Ridge and McKensie Ridge, alongside unique geological features like Ravine Arch and Arrowhead Arch.

Genealogists will find a series of family-named burial sites across the township, including Mount Eden Cem, Williams Cem, and Gilmore Cem. The northern portion is defined by the reaching arms of Patoka Lake, which is fed by the Little Patoka River and Fleming Cr. The area’s history is further shaped by its topography, with Tunnel Hill standing as a landmark of the rail and road challenges found in these hills.
