2013 Map of Scottsburg

About this map

Scottsburg serves as the central hub of this Scott County landscape, where the intersection of major transit corridors meets a complex network of local drainage ditches and creeks. To the south lies Vienna, while the smaller settlement of Leota is situated near Puppy Hollow in the southwestern quadrant. The geography is defined by the hydrologic patterns of the Muscatatuck River and its numerous tributaries, including Stucker Fork, Hutto Cr, and Iola Run, which feeds into Iola Lake. This era shows significant local infrastructure, from the Scottsburg Airport and Scottsburg Reservoir to numerous named small lakes such as Marshall King Lake, Hosea Lake, and Forrest Helton Lake. The map reveals a transition from the organized street grids of the towns to a rural landscape dissected by specialized water management features like Dens Ford Ditch, Plow Drain, and Ox Ditch.
