2010 Map of Owensville

About this map

Owensville serves as the central hub of this Gibson County landscape, where a dense grid of rural roads connects scattered farming communities and historical family sites. The surrounding countryside is defined by a network of drainage runs and creeks, including Skelton Creek, Mauck Run, and Barren Creek, illustrating the complex water management required for the region's agricultural productivity. To the northwest, the industrial presence of the Gibson Public Service Generation Plant Dam stands in contrast to the traditional rural character of the area. For those tracing local heritage, the map is a vital resource for locating ancestral resting places, specifically naming Sand Hill Cemetery, Mauck Cemetery, Skelton Cemetery, and Clark Cemetery. Small settlements like Johnson, Lyles, and Sand Hill are clearly marked, providing a clear picture of the settlement patterns in southwest Indiana during the early 21st century.
