2016 Map of Hayden

About this map

The Vernon Fork Muscatatuck River meanders through this portion of Jennings County, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a high density of early burial grounds. The community of Hayden sits in the northwest, while the small crossroads of Four Corners and the village of Lovett occupy the southern reaches. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family and community markers, including the Saint Catherines Cem, Sixmile Cem, and the German Cem near the banks of Tea Creek. A network of drainage basins, including Indian Creek and Sixmile Creek, shapes the local topography, which is gridded by county roads like W Base Road. The presence of both the Blue Trail and Green Trail in the northeast corner suggests the integration of modern recreational paths into this traditional agricultural and riverine corridor.
