About this map

The rolling hills of Jefferson County are marked by a deep-seated rural character, where small crossroads settlements and family-named cemeteries define the landscape. Near the northern border, the Hazen Amish Community Cem sits along Bell Run Rd, highlighting the enduring presence of traditional communities in the area. The map illustrates a network of winding roads and numerous small tributaries, such as Beaver Run and Little Mill Creek, that carve through the high ground.

Modern infrastructure exists alongside these older patterns, most notably the Dubois Regional Airport and the corridor of Interstate 80 passing near Hormtown. For genealogists and local historians, the distribution of burial grounds like the Temple Cem near Warsaw and the Emerickville Lutheran Cem provides a clear link to the 19th and 20th-century families who settled the region’s ridges and valleys.
