About this map

The Vernon Fork Muscatatuck River winds through the southern landscape of this Jackson County survey, defining a region where agricultural land meets expanding infrastructure. On the southeastern edge of Seymour, the map shows the transition from residential streets like Bateman Dr to more rural locales such as Fleming and Kriete Corner. These smaller settlements, along with New Farmington and the namesake Chestnut Ridge, are connected by an intricate network of county roads and drainage ditches designed to manage the low-lying river valley.

Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Wohrer Cem, Hunt Cem, and Barkman Cem. The reliance on water management is evident in named infrastructure such as the Mutton Creek Ditch and the Luther McDonald Ditch, which channel water toward the primary river system. This map captures the modern layout of the region, showing how contemporary transit corridors intersect with long-established communities.
