About this map

Sugar Creek winds through the heart of this landscape, anchoring a network of small agricultural settlements and recreational camps along the border of Johnson and Shelby Counties. The rural economy of the mid-20th century is evident in landmarks like The Red Mills, while the social fabric is traced through numerous country churches such as Pleasant Valley Ch and Needham Ch. The area around Boggstown and London shows a high density of family and community burial grounds, including Boggstown Cem, Hough Cem, and Johnson Cem, providing significant detail for genealogical research.

Waterways like Buck Creek, Little Sugar Creek, and Brandywine Creek define the drainage patterns of the local townships. The survey highlights a transition towards seasonal recreation along the creek banks, noted by the presence of Broad Ripple Camp, Walnut Grove Camp, and Camp Newheart. A strictly rectilinear road grid, from 950 North Road down to 200 North Road, overlays the winding natural features of the Indiana countryside.
