About this map

Hymera and its grid of residential streets like W Jackson St and E Depot St form the central hub of this eastern Sullivan County landscape. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage systems of Busseron Creek and its many branches, including the W Fork Busseron Cr and E Fork Busseron Cr. These waterways carve through a rural region marked by small clusters of settlement such as Jackson Hill and Glendora.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites scattered across the township, from the Knights of Pythias Cem near the town center to the Mount Pleasant Cem and Good Hope Cem in the outlying sections. The southern portion of the map features Greenbriar Lake and the interestingly named Possum Hollow, showing a mixture of wooded creek bottoms and agricultural tracts that characterize the area's transition from open fields to the riparian zones of Kettle Cr and Sulphur Cr.
