About this map

Poseyville stands as a central hub of this agricultural landscape in southwest Indiana, situated at the junction of several critical regional roads. The landscape is defined by the drainage networks of the Black River and Cox Cr, which carve through the fertile terrain north of Rapture and Stallings. This 2016 survey documents a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as Hancock Cem, Miller Cem, and Fitzgerrell Cem, which are vital for genealogical research in this part of Posey County.

Transport patterns show the modern integration of the area, with the corridor through Stewartsville connecting the rural settlements. Distinctive landmarks like the Bugtown Airport and the private airstrip at Garrett Field indicate the continued importance of general aviation in this rural county. The map also records the precise boundary between Gibson and Posey counties, a line that cuts through established farmsteads and rural routes like Wassmer Rd.
