About this map

Wadesville sits at the intersection of local routes in northwestern Posey County, serving as a central point for the surrounding agricultural landscape. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where small settlements like Blairsville, Hepburn, and Lippe are connected by a network of county roads such as Romaine Rd and Old Blairsville Rd. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Big Creek and its many tributaries, including McAdoo Cr and Lick Cr.

Genealogists will find significant local landmarks such as Laurel Hill Cem and Downen Cem, which provide geographic context for family histories in the area. The inclusion of the Schroeder Private Airport in the southeast and Knowles Lake near the center of the quadrangle shows the modern land use alongside traditional farms. The map also delineates historical townships including t5s r13w and t5s r12w, maintaining the framework of the Public Land Survey System.
