About this map

Crothersville sits at the heart of this survey, serving as a focal point where the local grid meets a complex network of agricultural drainage and natural waterways. The town's layout, featuring streets like N Armstrong St and Seymour Rd, is defined by its proximity to the Muscatatuck River and its various tributaries. This landscape is a patchwork of engineered ditches like Blau Ditch and Nehrt Ditch, reflecting the intensive land management required for farming in this part of Southern Indiana.

Family history is deeply embedded in the rural landscape through numerous small burial grounds including Bedel Cem, Gorrell Cem, and Campbell Cem. These sites, along with the smaller settlements of Uniontown and Retreat, provide a clear picture of the region's late-20th and early-21st-century residential patterns. The transition from Jackson County into Scott County is marked by changes in the road network, while the broad floodplain of the Vernon Fork Muscatatuck River remains the dominant geographic feature shaping the southern progress of the area near Austin.
