2019 Map of Jonesville

About this map

Waynesville and Jonesville anchor a landscape defined by the intersection of southern Indiana's agrarian roots and the modern transit corridor of Interstate 65. The terrain shifts from the managed fields of Bartholomew Co into Jackson Co, following the meandering path of the East Fork White River and its associated wetlands. The presence of smaller residential pockets like Little Acre and Bobtown suggests the persistence of community nodes outside the larger influence of nearby Columbus. The hydrology of the area is particularly distinct, featuring numerous named water bodies such as Lake Barbara, Thompsons Lake, and Peters Lake, alongside the significant natural drainage of Thompson Slough. These features, combined with the rise of Wrights Hill, provide a detailed look at how local elevation and water systems have influenced the placement of rural roads and homesteads.
