2019 Map of Hartsville

About this map

Hartsville and the surrounding tri-county borderlands of Bartholomew, Shelby, and Decatur counties define this 2019 survey. The landscape is characterized by a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Hartsville College Cem, Galbraith Cem, and Center Grove Cem, reflecting generations of settlement along the waterways. The drainage pattern of Clifty Creek and its various forks dictates the local topography, carving through the agricultural sections and providing a natural corridor between the small communities of Rugby and Burney. This modern topographic study preserves the placement of historic family plots such as the Pumphrey Cem and Mitchell Cem, offering a precise view of the region's cultural geography. The interplay of named county roads and meandering streams like Duck Cr illustrates the persistent rural character of this Indiana heartland.
