2019 Map of Domestic

About this map

Domestic and Perryville anchor this agricultural region of Eastern Indiana, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. Numerous waterways, such as Loblolly Cr, Threemile Cr, and Votaw Ditch, reveal the extensive engineering required to manage the area's hydrology for farming. Smaller settlements like Poling and Phenix are situated along a grid of rural roads, while local genealogy is preserved at several historic burial sites, including Alberson Cem and West Grove Cem. The map illustrates the convergence of Jay, Wells, and Adams counties, showing how early 21st-century property lines and township divisions continue to follow the original Public Land Survey System. This detail is particularly evident in the placement of farmsteads and schools near prominent family-named landmarks like Sullivan Ditch and Haskin Run.
