1966 Map of Hardinsburg

About this map

Hardinsburg sits at the intersection of several early transport routes, including the Old Pike and Hardinsburg Road, serving as a central hub in this Southern Indiana landscape. The terrain is defined by complex water systems, notably the Blue River at Horseshoe Bend and the subterranean-leaning hydrology of Sinking Creek and Whiskey Run. Large portions of the western half are managed as part of the Hoosier National Forest, showing a transition from agricultural use to protected woodland. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the distribution of family-named sites and rural institutions, such as Providence Cem, Totten Cem, and Baptist Hill Ch. Significant boundary lines, including the historic Treaty Boundary and multiple county borders, crisscross the townships of Stampers Creek, Madison, and Posey.
