About this map

Wadesville serves as the central hub of this Posey County landscape, where rural settlement patterns are defined by a grid of family-named roads and winding waterways. The topography is dominated by the westward flow of Big Creek and its many tributaries, including McAdoo Creek and Lick Creek. These streams cut through farmland dotted with established hamlets such as Blairsville, Hepburn, and Lippe.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant data in the placement of Laurel Hill Cemetery and Downen Cemetery, as well as specialized infrastructure like the Oliver Underground Gas Storage Area and Stierley Airport. The area reflects a deep-rooted agricultural and industrial tradition, with small lakes like Knowles Lake and LaRoche Lake providing localized landmarks. The intricate network of township roads, such as Pfister Rd and Hidbrader Rd, preserves the names of early resident families across this corner of southwestern Indiana.
