About this map

Deputy serves as a central hub in this Southern Indiana landscape where the borders of Jennings, Scott, and Jefferson counties converge. The meandering path of the Muscatatuck River divides the terrain, creating a natural boundary that has influenced the layout of local roads and the distribution of settlements like Paris Crossing and Commiskey. The mapping of small rural hamlets such as Hilltown and Paris provides a detailed look at the enduring community structures in the region, centered around crossroads and small waterways.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial sites, including Robertson Cem, Carmel Cem, and Keith Cem. The intricate network of creeks, such as Graham Creek, Coffee Cr, and Quick Creek, highlights the importance of drainage and water access in this agricultural and woodland setting. These features, combined with trails like the Cemetery Trl, offer a look at the historical connectivity of the area's rural landscape.
