About this map

The Scott County Courthouse stands as the central landmark of Scottsburg, the county seat in southern Indiana. This modern survey illustrates a landscape deeply shaped by drainage and water management, where the Muscatatuck River flows near the northern boundary. A dense network of engineered ditches and drains, such as Ox Ditch, Plain Drain, and Stink Ditch, cross the terrain to support the region's agricultural productivity.

Logistics and transport define the corridor between Austin and Vienna, anchored by the L & I RR. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several historic burial grounds, including Mount Pleasant Cem and Cravens Cem. The presence of small settlements like Leota and McClain, alongside bodies of water like Scottsburg Reservoir and Hosea Lake, highlights the balance between local industry and the natural watershed.
