2019 Map of Daylight

About this map

Evansville occupies the southwestern corner of this survey, where urban development meets a complex network of agricultural drainage ditches along the Vanderburgh and Warrick county line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Pigeon Creek and its many tributaries, such as Bluegrass Creek and Lick Creek. These watercourses are supplemented by a sophisticated system of man-made waterways including Stubbs Fruedenberg Ditch, Dennis Wagner Ditch, and Angel Ditch, illustrating the intensive land management required in this part of Indiana. Small settlements like Daylight, Chandler, and Fisherville dot the road network, which is anchored by historic routes like New Harmony Road and Petersburg Road. Local heritage is anchored by sites like the Blue Grass Church Cemetery and the Asbury Cemetery, while Little Ditney Hill provides a rare point of elevation in an otherwise low-lying, engineered terrain.
