About this map

Cynthiana serves as the primary hub of this southwestern Indiana landscape, where the borders of Posey, Gibson, and Vanderburgh counties converge. The town's grid is clearly defined by Main St and Church St, surrounded by a network of drainage systems essential to local agriculture, including Loeffler Ditch and the Newman Lateral. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, anchored by historical family-named sites and small settlements like Mounts and Nisbet.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous small burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as Mount Moriah Cem, Wilson Cem, and Knowles Cem. The terrain is shaped by the winding Black River and Big Cr, which dictate the placement of local roads and the boundaries of the township system. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Hepler Airport and the community of Martin mark the transition toward more infrastructure near the county lines.
