1962 Map of Boggstown

About this map

London sits at the northern edge of this landscape, a region defined by a intricate network of drainage and small waterways in Shelby County. The terrain is shaped by the winding course of Sugar Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Sugar Creek and Snail Creek. The reliance on local hydrology is evident in the man-made improvements to the land, such as Cutsinger Ditch and Gibson Ditch, which suggest a history of agricultural development and water management. To the east, the landscape is bounded by Brandywine Creek, while northern reaches are touched by Buck Creek and Leatherwood Run. This 1962 revision, based on earlier surveys by the Indiana Department of Conservation, provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns that supported these central Indiana communities before the expansion of modern suburban footprints.
