About this map

Columbus forms the western anchor of this landscape, where the urban edge meets the agricultural reaches of eastern Bartholomew County. The area is defined by the winding paths of Clifty Creek and Fishers Fork, with numerous small water bodies such as Suhre Lake regulated by the Suhre Lake Dam. Scattered throughout the rural sections are several historic burial grounds, including Sand Hill Cemetery, Sharon Cemetery, and Springer Cemetery, which provide critical points of reference for local family history and genealogical research.

Smaller unincorporated communities like Petersville, Jewell Village, and Newbern illustrate the traditional settlement pattern of the region, situated along a grid of county roads. In the south, Elizabethtown serves as a local hub near the junctions of Little Sand Creek and Cooks Creek. This survey captures the transition from the developing outskirts of the city to the established rural townships, preserving the locations of legacy landmarks such as Donaldson Cemetery and New Harmony Cemetery amidst the changing land use of the early 21st century.
