2019 Map of Maceo

About this map

The agrarian communities of Knottsville and Yelvington anchor this survey of eastern Daviess County, where the terrain transitions from the low-lying Tywhapity Bottoms to prominent high points like Spice Knob and Indian Hill. For family historians, the landscape is densely marked with small family burial grounds, including Hawes-Taylor Cem, Winkler Cem, and Glover Cem, many tucked away near older farm roads like Gobler Ford Rd and Possum Trot Rd. This late-2010s map illustrates the enduring rural settlement patterns of the region, featuring small clusters at Ensor and Scythia and the managed waters of Kingfisher Lakes. The drainage network, defined by Hazel Ditch, Burnett Fork, and Caney Cr, reflects a long-established system of agricultural water management essential to the fertile valleys between the county's distinct ridges and knobs.
