2019 Map of Poseyville

About this map

The Black River flows through this southwestern Indiana landscape, defining the agricultural character of the region near the border of Gibson and Posey counties. The town of Poseyville serves as the central hub, surrounded by a dense network of country roads and family cemeteries that offer significant value for genealogical research. Smaller settlements like Stewartsville, Barrett, and the uniquely named Rapture are linked by these corridors, reflecting the area's long-standing rural community structure. Local aviation is represented by Ralph E Koch Airport and Bugtown Airport, while the terrain is marked by numerous drainage features such as Belcher Ditch and Higginbotham Ditch. The abundance of historic burial sites, including the Miller Family Cem and Saint Francis Xavier Cem, provides a detailed record of the families who established the homesteads across these townships.
