2022 Map of Wadesville

About this map

Wadesville serves as a primary hub in this portion of Posey County, situated where several regional roads converge near Laurel Hill. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Big Creek and its many tributaries, including McAdoo Cr and Little Cr, which cut through the agricultural terrain. Small, distinct communities like Blairsville, Hepburn, and Lippe are connected by a dense grid of county roads, reflecting a long-standing rural settlement pattern. Local heritage is marked by several burial grounds, such as Laurel Hill Cem and Downen Cem, which provide valuable points of reference for genealogical research. The presence of Schroeder Private Airport in the southeast corner near Neu Cr indicates the continued utility of the flatlands for aviation, even as the area remains predominantly rural and focused on the drainages of Old Beech Cr and Old Brook.
