About this map

Sunman serves as a primary hub in this corner of southeastern Indiana, situated where the boundary between Ripley Co and Dearborn Co meets the higher ground of the region. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of Hogan Creek, which branches into the North Hogan Creek, Little Hogan Creek, and the West Fork Tanners Creek. These waterways have carved numerous hollows and ridges, including Johnson Hollow and Ester Ridge, influencing the placement of settlements and transport routes.

Local history is preserved through a series of community-centric locations like New Alsace and Manchester. Genealogists can find significant reference points in several rural burial grounds, such as Saint Pauls Cem and Manchester Cem. The mapping also identifies smaller crossroads such as Hubbells Corner and Weisburg, reflecting the persistent agricultural and small-town framework that has shaped this part of the state for generations.
