About this map

Wheatland serves as the industrial and transit hub of this Southwestern Indiana landscape, situated at the intersection of the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads. The town's economy and the surrounding rural character are heavily defined by coal mining, with several operations such as Knox Consolidated No 1 Shaft, the Standard Mine, and the Peacock Mine dotting the hillsides. These mines are connected by a network of local routes like Kessinger Road and Wampler Road, which link the town to outlying communities like Ragsdale and the Indian Creek Settlement.
