About this map

Waymansville serves as a central point in this southern Indiana landscape, where the borders of Bartholomew, Brown, and Jackson Counties converge. The region is defined by a dense network of creek valleys and ridges, including Poplar Ridge and Gilmore Hill, which influenced the placement of early settlements and family cemeteries. Significant tracts of the Hoosier National Forest occupy the southwest, preserving the timbered character of the terrain.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds such as Cain Cem, Phillips Cem, and Weddell Cem scattered across the countryside. The map also reveals the rural layout of Becks Grove and Spraytown, including the Spraytown Cem. Water features are prominent throughout, from the E Fork White Cr in the northeast to smaller impoundments like Echo Lake and Lutheran Lake, illustrating the area's drainage patterns and recreational geography.
