About this map

Epsom and Cornettsville anchor this 2010 topographic record of northern Daviess County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of county roads and agricultural drainage systems. The map details the rural character of the region, featuring several small settlements like Elnora and Odon alongside an extensive list of local burial grounds, including Tolberts Chapel Cemetery, Cornettsville Cemetery, and Ketcham Cemetery. These sites provide significant data for genealogical research in this part of Indiana.

The hydrology of the area is managed through a complex of man-made and natural waterways, such as the Epsom Lateral, Findley Lateral, and Vertrees Ditch. These work in tandem with natural flows like Smothers Creek and Barnes Branch to move water toward the White River in the northwest. A notable engineered landmark, the Prairie Creek Structure Number A-2-3, is situated near the southern boundary, reflecting modern water management practices in the North Fork Prairie Creek drainage basin.
