About this map

The town of Cynthiana serves as the central hub of this southwestern Indiana landscape, where a grid of rural roads connects scattered farming communities and historical family landmarks. Genealogists and local historians will find several well-preserved burial grounds, including the Benson Cemetery to the north and the Powell Cemetery in the east. The terrain is defined by a network of waterways such as the Black River and Big Creek, which wind through the agricultural sections of Posey County.

Evidence of small-scale aviation is present at Hepler Airport, while the smaller settlements of Mounts and Nisbet anchor the northern and southern reaches of the map. Transport and boundary lines, like the Posey County Line Rd N, highlight the administrative divisions and the long-established travel routes that have shaped the local economy. The presence of the Old Channel Wabash River provides a glimpse into the changing hydrologic history of the region.
