About this map

The East Fork White River winds through this Jackson County landscape, anchoring a region defined by established agricultural drainage and early 21st-century infrastructure. The city of Seymour serves as the primary hub, where the L & I RR and CSX rail lines intersect amidst a dense street grid. Surrounding the urban center, smaller settlements like Rockford to the north and Cortland to the west maintain their distinct identities, connected by a network of rural roads and drainage projects such as Beatty Walker Ditch and Von Range Ditch.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites across the township lines, from the large Riverview Cem near the river to smaller, more isolated grounds like Chestnut Ridge Cem and Durland Cem. To the southwest, the distinctive high point of the Pinnacle rises near New Elizabethtown, while the extensive grounds of Freeman Municipal Airport occupy the southern reaches of the city, illustrating the area's transition from river-bottom settlement to a modern transportation center.
