About this map

Palmyra and Martinsburg serve as central nodes in this landscape where Washington, Harrison, and Floyd Counties converge. The region is defined by the Mitchell Plain, a limestone plateau that influences the local drainage patterns of Bear Cr and Licking Cr. This 2019 survey documents a rural infrastructure where historical family names persist through the road network and numerous small burial grounds, such as David Voyles Cem and Rickard Cem.

Transport routes like Buffalo Trace Rd follow historical paths through the undulating terrain north of the Greenville Reservoir. The settlement pattern remains centered on established towns like New Pekin and Old Pekin in the northeast, while the interior of the quadrangle is largely defined by agricultural tracts and small water bodies like Palmyra Lake. The map provides an essential record of contemporary property boundaries and land use in this specific corner of Southern Indiana.
