1957 Map of Butlerville

About this map

Indian Treaty Boundary lines cut across the northern terrain of this Jennings County region, marking an older era of land division near Brewersville. The landscape is defined by the winding Muscatatuck River and its Vernon Fork, which provide the drainage for a mix of woodland and agricultural plots. This 1950s survey captures the extensive grounds of the Muscatatuck State School and the protected acreage of the Selmier State Forest, highlighting the state's significant institutional and conservation presence in the area. Local genealogy and community life are grounded in numerous rural landmarks, including St Anns Sch, New Bethel Ch, and the Summerfield Cemetery. To the southeast, the established settlement of Butlerville sits near the Brush Creek Reservoir, while the fringes of North Vernon appear at the southwestern edge, complete with the North Vernon Airport.
