2016 Map of Pierceville

About this map

Milan and the neighboring settlement of Old Milan anchor the southeastern corner of this Ripley County landscape, where the headwaters of Ripley Creek and S Hogan Cr carve through the Indiana countryside. The map reveals a high concentration of localized history, particularly through its small rural hamlets like Delaware, Pierceville, and Ballstown. These settlements are interconnected by a dense grid of township roads such as E Mud Pike Rd and W Indian Trl, reflecting a long-standing agricultural and residential pattern. Genealogical interest is prominent throughout the quadrangle, with several established burial grounds including Little Memory Church Cem and Prattsburg Cem. Small-scale aviation also leaves its mark on the land via Buell Airport and Lewis Airfield, while water bodies like Broughton Lake and Paradise Lake provide distinct geographic landmarks amidst the drainages of Laughery Creek.
