2019 Map of Cynthiana

About this map

Cynthiana sits at the convergence of multiple county lines in Southwestern Indiana, serving as the primary hub for a landscape defined by agricultural tracts and a complex network of drainage features. The settlement's grid, featuring Main St and North St, is surrounded by smaller locales such as Mounts to the north and Nisbet to the southeast. The area is characterized by its heavy reliance on water management, evidenced by the numerous ditches and laterals like Logfler Ditch, Newman Lateral, and McGary Ditch that feed into larger water bodies including the Black River and Big Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds across the townships, from Benson Cemetery and Wilson Cemetery in the north to the Powell Cemetery near the eastern boundary. This 2019 survey documents the enduring rural character of the Posey, Gibson, and Vanderburgh county borders.
