About this map

Taswell and Eckerty anchor this portion of the Crawford County landscape, where the wooded expanses of the Hoosier National Forest meet the controlled waters of Patoka Lake. The mapping reveals a rural infrastructure defined by small crossroads settlements and community landmarks such as Bethany Ch, Bethel Ch, and the Pleasant Ridge Ch Cem. These sites, along with the Gilmore Cem and Mt Eden Cem, offer essential touchpoints for genealogical research in southern Indiana.

The topography is marked by significant natural features like the Hemlock Cliffs and Tunnel Hill, while the industrial and transport history of the region is etched into the land by the Southern railroad line and a local Quarry. Further south, the map traces the drainage of the Sinking Fork toward Doolittle Mills, illustrating the traditional movement patterns between the high ridges and the creek valleys.
