About this map

Lebanon sits as the central hub of this Boone County landscape, surrounded by a transition from established neighborhoods like Northfield Village and Ulen to the agricultural expanses of the Indiana countryside. The map reveals a complex drainage network essential to this prairie region, where numerous named channels such as Buntin Ditch, Browns Wonder Cr, and Powell Ditch dictate the flow of the land. These waterways, alongside others like Isenhour Ditch and Hoskins Ditch, illustrate the historical effort to manage the local water table for farming and development.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial grounds, including Oak Hill Cem on the eastern edge of the city and more remote sites like Bethel Cem and Dowden Cem. Small outlying communities such as Elizaville and Stringtown appear alongside modern infrastructure like the Boone County Airport, showing the evolution of the county seat's periphery.
