About this map

Lynn serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in southern Randolph County, where the intersection of state routes and local grids anchors the community. To the west, the settlement of Bloomingport sits near the headwaters of Bloomingport Cr, while smaller clusters like Rural and Snow Hill mark the steady progression of the countryside's development. The drainage of the land is meticulously documented through a network of ditches and runs, including the curiously named Nameless River and the winding Greens Fork.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, such as the Quaker Lynn Cem and Mount Gilliard Cem. The map captures the boundary line between Randolph Co and Wayne Co, illustrating how the township and range system structured the expansion of these Indiana farming communities. From Woodclinch Brook to Nolands Fork, the watercourses here have long dictated the placement of roads and farmsteads.
