About this map

Hardinsburg and the rural communities of Rego and Fayetteville anchor this southern Indiana landscape during the early 21st century. The map reveals a complex karst topography, where the surface water of Honey Creek and Sinking Creek interacts with geological features like Scotland Cave Sink, Posey Sink, and Honey Sink. These sinkholes are characteristic of the region's limestone bedrock, which shapes the drainage patterns before reaching the Patoka River in the northwest.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the quadrangle, including Providence Cemetery, Walton Cemetery, and the Old Unity Cemetery near Self Island. To the south, the terrain descends toward Marengo, where the Totten Ford Bridge crosses near Totten Cemetery. The road network, comprising routes like Valeene Pike and Marengo Pike, connects these isolated homesteads and farms to the larger settlements and the bend of the Cider Fork creek.
