About this map

The Wabash River carves the western boundary of Indiana in this detail of Posey County, revealing a complex fluvial landscape where the Wabash River Old Channel and numerous cutoffs like Bowman Bend define the state line. Near the northern edge, the historic settlement of New Harmony is documented alongside several significant burial grounds, including the Harmonist Cem and Maple Hill Cem. These sites reflect the unique communal history of the area, while smaller crossroads like Savah, Grafton, and the aptly named Solitude anchor the rural road network further south.

Transportation and recreation are highlighted by an extensive system of paths, such as the Wabash Horse Trl, Trail #3 Trl, and Bicycle Trails Trl, which wind through the varied terrain. The map tracks the drainage of the interior through a dense network of creeks, including Big Creek, Rush Cr, and Swift Run. Aviation history is also noted at the Culley Acres Airport north of Savah. For genealogists, the recording of family-named landmarks like McFadden Cem and Alexander Cem provides precise locations for ancestral research in this riverine corner of the Midwest.
