2013 Map of Seymour

About this map

The East Fork White River defines the landscape south of the city, winding through a complex system of drainage and small waterways. In this early 21st-century landscape, the large footprint of the Freeman Municipal Airport serves as a major waypoint south of the urban center, while smaller outlying communities like Rockford to the north and Cortland to the west maintain their distinct identities. The map reveals an intricate network of rural and suburban development, from the residential streets of Sunset Parkway to the crossings at Hangman Crossing. Water management is clearly a priority for the region, evidenced by the numerous named channels such as Beatty Walker Ditch, Von Fange Ditch, and Luther McDonald Ditch that crisscross the lowlands between the river and the various settlements. To the southwest, the terrain becomes less dense as it approaches the areas of New Elizabethtown and the creek known as Horse Lick.
