About this map

Hymera and the surrounding coal-country landscapes of Sullivan County appear here during a period of modern water management and established rural infrastructure. The terrain is defined by the branching paths of West Fork Busseron Creek and East Fork Busseron Creek, which are regulated by several engineered structures including Busseron Dam Number G-5 and Busseron Dam Number I-2. These dams and the presence of Greenbriar Lake illustrate the complex hydrology of the region.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable landmarks, from the northern edge of Farmersburg down to the southern settlements of Glendora and Greenville. Family researchers will find the locations of Mount Pleasant Cemetery and the Knights of Columbus Cemetery clearly marked. The map also captures the Austin Air Ads Airport and the smaller clusters of Jackson Hill, Wilfred, and Baldridge, providing a comprehensive view of the local road network and residential distribution at the turn of the decade.
