About this map

Crothersville and the northern edge of Austin serve as the primary population centers in this rural landscape at the intersection of Jackson, Jennings, and Scott Counties. The terrain is defined by the Vernon Fork Muscatatuck River and its complex network of drainage ditches, including Rider Ditch, Bedel Ditch, and Blau Ditch, which illustrate the region's agricultural history and efforts to manage the low-lying river bottoms.

Smaller settlements like Uniontown and Retreat are situated among a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Gorrell Cem, Grassy Cem, and Bedel Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the rural road grid, where numerous county roads connect dispersed farmsteads across the townships of T5N R6E and T4N R7E. This survey preserves the exact placement of local landmarks like the Campbell Cem and the winding course of Quick Cr as they appeared in the early 2020s.
