About this map

Vallonia sits as a central hub in this southern Indiana landscape, defined by its position near the sweeping curves of the East Fork White River. The region's history is preserved in a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Woodmansee Cemetery, Smith Cemetery, and Sturgeon Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in Jackson County. To the south, the Muscatatuck River meanders toward the settlement of Millport, creating a distinct riparian border.

Water management and recreation are central themes, evidenced by a series of reservoirs and their infrastructure. Starve Hollow Lake and Hillview Lake are prominent, with both the Starve Hollow Lake Dam and Hillview Lake Dam clearly marked. These features, along with the smaller Lake Pyoca and Knob Lake to the northeast, illustrate how the local drainage of Mill Creek and Knob Creek has been utilized to shape the modern geography of the area.
