2019 Map of Deerfield

About this map

The Mississinewa River flows westward through this rural landscape on the border of Jay and Randolph counties. This area is defined by a dense grid of local roads and several small, historic settlements including Deerfield, Antioch, and Bluff Point. These hamlets, along with Boundary City, reflect the early agricultural development of Eastern Indiana, where local trade and community life centered around these scattered points. Multiple family and community burial sites, such as Old Prospect Cem, Kunce Cem, and Reitenour Cem, are preserved across the terrain, offering significant primary data for genealogical research. The river valley and its tributaries, including Little Salamonie River and Buckeye Cr, provide a natural contrast to the structured township and range lines that govern the land division.
