River Forest, IN

River Forest is a Madison County town whose River Forest Street runs toward the White River, with West 8th Street tied to the surviving canal corridor behind the settlement. Nearby Moss Island Mill was built in 1836, rebuilt after an 1875 fire, and once used canal water for power. Indiana records place River Forest Town in the Anderson Community School Corporation, and Madison County still lists it as its own town tax district. The local map joins a short residential street, a river edge, and remnants of the canal-and-mill system that organized early settlement around Anderson.
