About this map

Hartsville sits at the convergence of several rural corridors in Bartholomew County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Clifty Creek and its many tributaries. This 2010 survey reveals a quiet agricultural region anchored by small settlements such as Rugby and Burney. The density of family and institutional burial grounds, including the Hartsville College Cemetery and the Galbraith Cemetery, points to a long-established community structure deeply tied to the land's hydrology.

Water management is evident through the presence of Middle Fork Lake Dam and Schultz Lake Dam, which regulate the drainage of Middle Fork Lake and Schultz Lake respectively. These features, along with named creeks like Duck Creek and Fall Fork, illustrate the natural drainage patterns that have shaped local road placement and field boundaries. The grid of county roads, such as E Co Rd 500 N and County Line Rd, provides a framework for the scattered farmsteads and rural homesites characteristic of the area.
