2010 Map of Sunman

About this map

North Hogan Creek and its many tributaries, including Butternut Run and Little Hogan Creek, carve through this section of Ripley County. The landscape is defined by a network of rural settlements connected by a grid of county roads, with Sunman and Manchester serving as primary hubs. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including the Franklin Cemetery and Ransom Cemetery, which offer valuable points of reference for genealogists. The topography is marked by distinct features such as Round Hill and Johnson Hollow, illustrating the varied elevation of the Indiana countryside. Smaller communities like Weisburg, New Alsace, and Hubbells Corner dot the map, while Perrine Lake Dam represents 21st-century water management in the region. This 2010 survey reflects the enduring rural character of the area, where established family names are often preserved in the labeling of landmarks and roads.
