2022 Map of Marietta

About this map

Big Blue River and Sugar Creek dominate this central Indiana landscape along the Johnson and Shelby County line. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of drainage ditches, including Gibson Ditch, Amity Ditch, and McCue-Medsker Ditch, which support the agricultural productivity of the surrounding flats. Small rural clusters like Marietta, Bengal, and Amity serve as local anchors, while the presence of Skeeter Landing suggests the river's historical role in recreation or transport. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds across the townships, such as Needham Cem in the north and Freeman Cem in the south. The intersection of W State Rd 44 and various county roads provides a clear view of the modern rural infrastructure imposed over the original sectional grid of t12n r5e and t11n r6e.
