About this map

The Big Blue River and Sugar Creek carve through this section of central Indiana, defining the rural landscape along the Johnson Co Shelby Co line. Small communities like Marietta and Mt Auburn serve as focal points for the surrounding agricultural grid, which is interspersed with family and community landmarks such as Smiley Cem and Blue River Ch. The southwestern corner is dominated by the Atterbury State Fish and Wildlife Area, where specialized infrastructure like a Pumphouse and Water Tank support the facility's operations.

Transportation patterns are dictated by the Conrail rail line passing through Amity and a dense network of numbered country roads. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of several small burial grounds like Brockman Cem and Freeman Cem, alongside vanished-label settlements such as Jollity and Bengal, offers a detailed look at the 1960s-era settlement density before later modernization.
