About this map

Grammer and Sardinia anchor this rural landscape where the borders of Bartholomew, Decatur, and Jennings counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Clifty Creek in the northwest and Poplar Root Cr in the southeast, reflecting a traditional Indiana agricultural layout. Small settlements like Burnsville and Alert are connected by a grid of county roads, punctuated by several legacy burial grounds such as Little Sand Creek Cem and Parkison Cem that offer significant value for genealogical research.

Williams Flying Field north of Newbern and the Mount Pleasant Cem highlight the mix of modern utility and deep-rooted local history. The presence of Wynn Cem Mount Olivet Cem near the central drainage of Rock Creek provides a focal point for those tracing family roots through these specific townships. The map illustrates how these small crossroads communities have maintained their distinct identities amidst the winding paths of Bear Creek and Rattail Creek.
