1947 Map of Scottsburg

About this map

Scottsburg serves as the focal point of this Scott County landscape, anchored by the Pennsylvania railroad line which connects the town to nearby Austin and Vienna. The mid-century topography reveals a community structured around rural institutions, including the County Farm and several local congregations such as Zion Ch, Mt Zion Ch, and Old Ox Ch. Drainage patterns are defined by a complex network of creeks, with Stucker Fork and its tributaries, including Honey Creek and Pigeon Roost Creek, winding through the terrain. In the southern portion of the map, the elevation rises toward the Clark State Forest, while the northern boundary is marked by the course of the Muscatatuck River. Small educational landmarks like Carlisle Sch and the Spurgeon Cem provide specific points of interest for those tracing family roots in the Finley and Vienna townships.
