About this map

Hardinsburg and the surrounding karst topography of the Indiana uplands are mapped here, revealing a landscape defined by dramatic sinkholes and subterranean drainage. Large depressions such as Posey Sink and Honey Sink dominate the terrain east of the Hoosier National Forest boundary, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region. The map captures the meeting of four counties—Orange, Washington, Crawford, and Harrison—near the southern reaches of the quadrangle where the Blue River and Whiskey Run converge.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Rego settlement in the north to numerous burial sites including Hardinsburg Cemetery, Old Unity Cemetery, and Union Chapel Cemetery. The winding course of the Patoka River and the distinctive river bends at Horseshoe Bend and Goodman Bend provide clear reference points for those tracing historical property boundaries or family homesteads in this rural part of Southern Indiana.
