About this map

Veedersburg and Hillsboro anchor this portion of Fountain County, where the agricultural landscape is defined by the winding paths of East Fork Coal Creek and Prairie Cr. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, including Bonebrake Cem, Rock Field Cem, and Scotts Prairie Cem, which provide significant anchor points for local genealogical research.

Smaller crossroads like Steam Corner and Centennial illustrate the persistent settlement patterns of western Indiana. The terrain transitions from the developed streets of the larger towns to the drainages of Mill Cr and Buffalo Cr. This survey illustrates the modern road network, such as E State Rd 32, as it overlays the traditional land divisions of the Public Land Survey System, maintaining a grid that has shaped the county's development for generations.
