About this map

Dillsboro and Moores Hill anchor this rural landscape in southeastern Indiana, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows. The area's settlement history is preserved through an exceptionally high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Todd Cemetery, Forest Hill Cemetery, and Mc Kinstry Cemetery. These sites are scattered among small unincorporated communities like Sparta, Cold Springs, and Chesterville, suggesting a long-standing pattern of agricultural homesteads and tight-knit local neighborhoods.

Water management and natural drainage shape the local geography, with Lake Dilldear and the Hough Lake Dam providing central landmarks. The landscape is carved by numerous named watercourses such as Whitaker Creek and North Hogan Creek, which have created distinctive landforms like Hogback Hill, Possum Hollow, and Sangamaw Ridge. The concentration of named ridges and hollows, including Chesterville Ridge and Siefert Hollow, reflects the complex topography that defines this portion of Dearborn County.
