About this map

Crothersville sits at the heart of this landscape, its residential grid established west of the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks. The town's surrounding terrain is defined by the winding course of the Muscatatuck River and its various forks and tributaries, including the Vernon Fork Muscatatuck River. The low-lying lands are crisscrossed by an extensive network of drainage features like Rider Ditch, Blau Ditch, and Retreat Ditch, reflecting the historical effort to manage the area's hydrology for agriculture.

Beyond the town center, the map documents a rural landscape dotted with family and community landmarks. Researchers can identify numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as Cana Ch, Bethany Ch, and Coryell Cem. To the north, the small settlement of Uniontown lies near the base of Chestnut Ridge, while the southeastern corner shows the fringes of Austin. The intricate pattern of county roads, including 100 South Road and 800 South Road, connects these dispersed points of interest across the Jackson, Scott, and Jennings county lines.
