2016 Map of Boggstown

About this map

Sugar Creek winds through the heart of this central Indiana landscape, defining the agricultural and social geography along the border of Johnson and Shelby counties. Small, long-established settlements such as Boggstown, Needham, and Urmeyville serve as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. The area is notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Wiles Cem, Webb Cem, and Gallagher Cem, which provide significant genealogical touchpoints for local history researchers. The drainage patterns are meticulously recorded through a network of ditches and runs like Gibson Ditch and Leather Run. Aviation interests are represented by private strips such as Gray Airport and Cardinals Nest Airport, illustrating the modern utility of these rural landscapes. The map's grid system of county roads, such as Clark School Rd and W Boggstown Rd, reveals the enduring spatial organization of the Indiana countryside.
