2019 Map of Chestnut Ridge

About this map

The southeastern sprawl of Seymour and the wetlands bordering the Vernon Fork Muscatatuck River define this portion of Jackson County. This landscape is a complex network of agricultural drainage and natural waterways, featuring extensive engineered segments like Mutton Creek Ditch and the John McDonald Ditch that run alongside historical settlements. Smaller communities and crossroads like New Farmington, Fleming, and Kriete Corner are interspersed among family burial grounds such as Barkman Cem and Driftwood Cem. The southern reach of the map is dominated by the marshy lowland of the river, while the namesake Chestnut Ridge sits at the western edge, overlooking the valley. Aviation and infrastructure are also evident with the presence of Stewart Field nestled between the various creek branches that feed into the larger Muscatatuck basin.
