About this map

Evansville expands northward into the townships of German, Scott, and Knight on this detailed survey updated in the early 1980s. The urban-rural transition is marked by a mix of historic rural landmarks and growing suburban infrastructure. Significant cemeteries like St Joseph Cemetery, Locust Hill Cemetery, and Sunset Memorial Gardens (Cemetery) serve as important genealogical anchors for the region. The landscape is also defined by industrial and transportation hubs, including numerous oil wells and the sprawling Evansville Dress Regional Airport.

Smaller communities such as Darmstadt, McCutchanville, and Inglefield maintain their distinct identities along the Illinois Central Gulf RR. Educational and social centers like Central High Sch, the Vocational Technical College, and the Evansville Country Club reflect the mid-century development of the area. Waterways like Pigeon Creek and its tributaries, including Little Pigeon Creek and Licking Creek, cut through the terrain, which rises to its most prominent point at Knob Hill.
