About this map

Vernon Fork Muscatatuck River winds through the northern portion of this Jennings County region, defining the landscape around North Vernon and Vernon. This 2019 survey documents a largely rural area characterized by numerous small drainages such as Otter Creek, Graham Creek, and Bear Creek. The map shows a clear transition from the more developed street grids of the northern settlements to the dispersed homesteads and agricultural tracts to the south.

Local history researchers will find several family and community burial grounds, including Hughes Cemetery and the Ebenezer Methodist Cemetery. The southern edge of the map reaches into Jefferson County at Dupont, where Miller Lake and Camp Creek are prominent. The extensive network of county roads, such as East County Road 500 South, provides a precise layout of the land divisions and access points for the early 21st century.
