Getting started with the Henderson GIS map
On ground around Corydon, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Opening the official parcel viewer

Out toward Anthoston, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For property near Robards, a pop-up or side panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
