2016 Map of Chestnut Ridge

About this map

Seymour anchors the northwest corner of this Indiana landscape, where the urban grid gives way to the complex drainage systems of the Vernon Fork Muscatatuck River. The map illustrates a transition from the developed outskirts of the city to smaller crossroads like New Farmington and Kriete Corner. Genealogists will find a cluster of family-named burial sites across the township, including Barkman Cem, Gardner Cem, and Myers Cem, often situated near the creeks that defined early landholdings. The terrain is marked by an intricate network of waterways such as Mutton Creek Ditch and Sandy Branch, reflecting a history of agricultural drainage and flood management between the Jackson and Jennings county lines. Modern infrastructure like the Marion Pike and Stewart Field intersect with these older patterns of settlement and water management.
