==Geography== According to the 2010 census, the county has a total area of {{convert|378.34|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|376.58|sqmi}} (or 99.53%) is land and {{convert|1.76|sqmi}} (or 0.47%) is water.<ref name="census-density"/> It is a rural county, with majority of the county consisting of personal farms and woodlands. There are only two incorporated towns in this county, Vernon, the county seat, and North Vernon. Both are quite small and underdeveloped by urban standards. The county is located in the center of an imaginary triangle consisting of Indianapolis, IN, Cincinnati, OH, and Louisville, KY and requires only 1{{fraction|1|4}} hour drive time to any of these urban centers. It is also home to the [[Muscatatuck Urban Training Center]], located just outside North Vernon, at which various training exercises and scenarios are conducted for homeland security and other similar purposes.<ref>{{cite web | title = Muscatatuck Urban Training Center | publisher = United States Department of Defense | url = http://www.mutc.org/ | access-date = October 5, 2007 }}</ref> <!-- This link is broken - (Source: [http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070509/LOCAL18/705090513/1195/LOCAL18 Indianapolis Star]) --> ===City=== * [[North Vernon, Indiana|North Vernon]] ===Town=== * [[Vernon, Indiana|Vernon]] ===Census-designated places=== * [[Butlerville, Indiana|Butlerville]] * [[Country Squire Lakes, Indiana|Country Squire Lakes]] * [[Hayden, Indiana|Hayden]] * [[Scipio, Indiana|Scipio]] ===Other unincorporated places=== {{div col|colwidth=15em}} * [[Brewersville, Indiana|Brewersville]] * [[Commiskey, Indiana|Commiskey]] * [[Four Corners, Indiana|Four Corners]] * [[Grayford, Indiana|Grayford]] * [[Hilltown, Indiana|Hilltown]] * [[Lovett, Indiana|Lovett]] * [[Nebraska, Indiana|Nebraska]] * [[Paris, Indiana|Paris]] * [[Paris Crossing, Indiana|Paris Crossing]] * [[Queensville, Indiana|Queensville]] * [[San Jacinto, Indiana|San Jacinto]] * [[Walnut Ridge, Indiana|Walnut Ridge]] * [[Zenas, Indiana|Zenas]] {{div col end}} ===Townships=== {{div col|colwidth=15em}} * [[Bigger Township, Jennings County, Indiana|Bigger]] * [[Campbell Township, Jennings County, Indiana|Campbell]] * [[Center Township, Jennings County, Indiana|Center]] * [[Columbia Township, Jennings County, Indiana|Columbia]] * [[Geneva Township, Jennings County, Indiana|Geneva]] * [[Lovett Township, Jennings County, Indiana|Lovett]] * [[Marion Township, Jennings County, Indiana|Marion]] * [[Montgomery Township, Jennings County, Indiana|Montgomery]] * [[Sand Creek Township, Jennings County, Indiana|Sand Creek]] * [[Spencer Township, Jennings County, Indiana|Spencer]] * [[Vernon Township, Jennings County, Indiana|Vernon]] {{div col end}} ===Adjacent counties=== * [[Decatur County, Indiana|Decatur County]] (north) * [[Ripley County, Indiana|Ripley County]] (east) * [[Jefferson County, Indiana|Jefferson County]] (southeast) * [[Scott County, Indiana|Scott County]] (south) * [[Jackson County, Indiana|Jackson County]] (west) * [[Bartholomew County, Indiana|Bartholomew County]] (northwest) ===Major highways=== Sources: National Atlas,<ref>[http://www.nationalatlas.gov/ National Atlas] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205020547/http://www.nationalatlas.gov/ |date=December 5, 2008 }}</ref> U.S. Census Bureau<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/ |title=U.S. Census Bureau TIGER shape files |access-date=December 6, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170523020601/https://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/ |archive-date=May 23, 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref> * [[Image:US 50.svg|25px]] [[U.S. Route 50 in Indiana|U.S. Route 50]] * [[Image:Indiana 3.svg|25px]] [[State Road 3 (Indiana)|State Road 3]] * [[Image:Indiana 7.svg|25px]] [[State Road 7 (Indiana)|State Road 7]] * [[Image:Indiana 250.svg|25px]] [[State Road 250 (Indiana)|State Road 250]] ===Parks and protected areas=== * [[Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge]] (part) * [[Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge]] (part) * [[Muscatatuck County Park]] * [[Selmier State Forest]]
