2016 Map of Redkey

About this map

Redkey serves as the primary hub of this eastern Indiana landscape, where the grid of Jay County roads meets the diagonal path of W State Rd 67. The geography is defined by the winding course of the Mississinewa River as it flows westward through the southern half of the quadrangle, passing the settlement of Fairview. Small rural cemeteries, including Hillcrest Cem, Strong Cem, and Caylo Cem, are scattered across the township lines of Delaware, Jay, and Randolph counties, providing vital points of interest for genealogical research in these farming communities. To the southeast, the small settlement of Shedville sits near the confluence of Tough Run and Bush Creek, illustrating the historical reliance on these small waterways. The map reveals a highly structured drainage network, with named features like Rees Ditch and Halfway Creek cutting through the agricultural fields that dominate the terrain.
