About this map

Shelburn and Farmersburg anchor this Sullivan County landscape, where the flat agricultural expanse of Curry Prairie is carved by the winding Turman Creek and its many tributaries. The 2010 geography reveals a mix of old crossroads settlements and newer industrial water management, such as the Tailings Pond and Jonay Pond near the eastern edge.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites preserved across the townships, including Little Flock Cemetery, Moore Cemetery, and Alkire Cemetery. The southwest corner is dominated by the sprawling Turtle Creek Lake, created by the Turtle Creek Lake Dam. Smaller communities and named points like Curryville, Scott City, and Benefiel Corner provide specific landmarks for tracing local family history and historical land use patterns in this part of western Indiana.
