About this map

The Muscatatuck River meanders along the northern reaches of this Scott County landscape, defining the transition between Vernon and Jennings townships. The local economy and layout are centered on Scottsburg, where the Conrail line runs parallel to the highway, supporting a mix of industrial and civic life. Modern additions like the Scottsburg Memorial Hospital and the Scottsburg Reservoir reflect the mid-century growth of the area.

Southward, the terrain becomes more localized with smaller settlements like Vienna and Leota. This area is punctuated by traditional landmarks of rural Indiana, including the Mt Zion Ch and the New Providence Ch. To the southwest, the wooded expanse of the Clark State Forest contrasts with the intricate drainage network of Ox Creek and Honey Run, while long-standing family history is preserved at Everitt Cem and Spurgeon Cem.
