About this map

Poseyville serves as the primary hub of this southwestern Indiana landscape, where the agricultural grid is etched across the lowlands near the Black River. The region's history is preserved in a dense network of family and community burial grounds, from the Saint Francis Xavier Cem near the town center to the Miller Family Cem and Hancock Cem further afield. These sites, alongside settlements like Stewartsville and the curiously named Rapture, offer a detailed look at the local genealogy and land use patterns that have shaped the area for generations.

Transportation and infrastructure define the modern character of the terrain, with Bugtown Airport and Seib Airport providing local air access. The landscape is also marked by extensive drainage works like Belcher Ditch and Higginbotham Ditch, which support the intensive farming found throughout the Gibson and Posey county borderlands. Small hamlets like Barrett and Stallings remain as markers of the rural connectivity that has long defined this part of the state.
