2016 Map of Cynthiana

About this map

The town of Cynthiana sits at the junction of several key county roads, serving as a central hub in a landscape defined by its agricultural grid and complex water network. Small settlements like Mounts to the north and Nisbet to the south anchor the local geography, connected by routes such as W State Rd 68 and Co Rd 950 N. The terrain is drained by several significant waterways, including the Black River and Big Creek, alongside engineered drainage systems like the Newman Lateral and McGary Ditch. This 2016 survey illustrates how modern infrastructure, such as the Hepler Airport, coexists with the area's deep-rooted pioneer history. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including Knowles Cem and Mount Mariah Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle, providing critical markers for genealogists tracing families within the overlapping boundaries of Gibson, Posey, and Vanderburgh counties.
