2022 Map of Pierceville

About this map

Pierceville and Old Milan anchor this portion of the Ripley County landscape, where the terrain is deeply dissected by the winding courses of Laughery Creek and Ripley Creek. The area is characterized by a dense grid of rural roads and scattered small settlements like Delaware, Lookout, and Clinton, reflecting the region's enduring agricultural layout and localized community centers. Genealogical researchers will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including the Little Memory Church Cem in the north and the centrally located Prattsburg Cem. A notable characteristic of this area is the prevalence of small private landing strips, with McPherson Airfield, Buell Airport, and Lewis Airfield punctuating the rural township lines. The transition between t9n r12e and t8n r12e highlights the organized division of land that has governed this corner of Indiana for generations.
