2019 Map of Owensville

About this map

Owensville serves as the primary hub of this Gibson County landscape, where the grid of town streets meets an extensive system of agricultural drainage. The area's history is preserved in several local burial sites, including Owensville Cem, Sand Hill Cem, and the remote Mauck Cem. To the north, the small settlement of Lyles sits near Sand Hill, while Johnson occupies the western edge of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of managed waterways like McCarty Ditch, Blair Ditch, and Lillard Ditch, which converted former wetlands into productive farmland. Elements of the original hydrology remain visible at Broad Pond and Coffee Bayou, contrasting with the engineered precision of the Watson Lateral and the various runs that feed into the V Fork Pigeon Cr.
