About this map

Sullivan's city grid and surrounding rural townships characterize this central portion of the county, where the landscape is a mix of agricultural tracts and small creek drainages. To the north, Lake Sullivan and the Sullivan County Airport mark significant local landmarks, while the village of Paxton anchors the southeastern corner. The map documents an extensive network of county roads that intersect at regular intervals, such as W Co Rd 300 S and S Old US Highway 41, showing the organized land division typical of western Indiana.

Family history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries scattered across the countryside, including Walls Cemetery, Poplar Cemetery, and Providence Cemetery. Waterways like Busseron Creek, Buck Creek, and Turtle Creek meander through the terrain, with several man-made structures such as Busseron Dam Number L-1 regulating the local flow. The small community of New Lebanon sits west of the county seat, providing a secondary hub for the outlying farming community.
