About this map

Hardy Lake and the surrounding Hardy Lake State Recreation Area dominate the southern landscape of this 1960s survey, illustrating the significant hydrological development where Scott, Jennings, and Jefferson Counties converge. The Muscatatuck River meanders across the central terrain, its winding path punctuated by a Gaging Station and several significant tributaries including Coffee Creek and Quick Creek. This area shows a transition from traditional rural settlements toward recreational land use while maintaining its core agricultural and railway foundations.

Transportation corridors like the Penn Central railroad link the small communities of Commiskey, Paris Crossing, and Deputy. Local history is preserved through numerous family-named landmarks and rural institutions, such as Robertson Cem, Keith Cem, and Mt Zion Ch. The map provides a detailed view of the road network, from the established 850 South Road to the numerous section lines that define the townships of Marion, Montgomery, Johnson, and Graham.
