About this map

New Palestine and Acton anchor the northern and western sections of this landscape where the boundaries of Marion, Shelby, and Hancock counties converge. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Buck Creek and Sugar Creek, which supported early settlement and agriculture in this corner of Indiana. A dense network of local cemeteries, including the Mount Pleasant Methodist Church Cem and the Buck Creek Christian Cem, provides a detailed record of the families who established these communities.

Transport corridors like Southeastern Ave and N Michigan Rd cut diagonally across the grid of township lines, connecting smaller hamlets like London and Pleasant View. The geography illustrates the gradual shift from traditional rural farming tracts to contemporary residential developments such as Carriage Estates and Indian Creek Estates, while preserving several sites of genealogical interest like the Murnan Cem and Acton Cem.
