2016 Map of Hymera

About this map

Hymera and Farmersburg anchor this detailed study of eastern Sullivan County, where the landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage of Busseron Cr and its various forks. The map reveals a high density of small named settlements and local landmarks that suggest a history tied to the area's resource extraction and rural development. Clusters of small towns such as Wilfred, Jackson Hill, and the descriptively named Possum Hollow are interconnected by a rigid grid of county roads. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of several local burial sites, including Mount Pleasant Cem, Knights of Columbus Cem, and Burris Cem. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows significant water features like Greenbriar Lake and Kettle Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Wabash River watershed.
