2010 Map of Danville

About this map

Danville serves as the focal point of this central Indiana landscape, where the town's expanding residential grid meets a dense network of family and community burying grounds. The map reveals a remarkable concentration of cemeteries, many bearing local family names like the Trotter Cemetery, Devenport Cemetery, and Gentry Cemetery. These sites are scattered across a terrain defined by the drainage of East Fork Big Walnut Creek and West Fork White Lick Creek, illustrating the early patterns of rural settlement before modern development began to fill the spaces between the county seat and smaller hamlets like Montclair and Maplewood. Regional infrastructure is evidenced by the presence of small aviation sites such as Temple Airport and the Reynolds Landing Strip, alongside water management at Stout Lake. For researchers, the sheer density of named cemeteries, from Saint Augustine Memorial Gardens to the Primitive Baptist Cemetery, offers an unusually detailed spatial record of the area's genealogical history.
