2013 Map of New Corydon

About this map

The Wabash River meanders across the border of Indiana and Ohio, defining the agricultural landscape of Jay and Mercer counties. In this 2013 survey, small rural clusters like New Corydon, Jay City, and Trinity maintain their traditional footprints along a grid of section roads and drainage features such as Brewster Ditch and Goss Switzer Ditch. The survey highlights the intersection of local history and modern land use, from the small community of Padua in the south to the Sudhoff Tree Farm near Skeels Crossroads. The southern portion of the map includes a section of the Limberlost Cr, a waterway famously associated with the region's natural history. The proximity of these settlements along the State Line Rd corridor illustrates the enduring connection between these two states, tied together by shared water systems like Hickory Br and Scherman Ditch.
