About this map

Seven Mile Prairie anchors this corner of Boone County, where the agricultural grid meets the headwaters of numerous watercourses. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems such as Edlin Ditch, Wiley Thompson Ditch, and Main Edlin Ditch, essential for managing the fertile plains between Lebanon and Brownsburg. Smaller settlements like Fayette and Milledgeville appear as concentrated nodes along the local road network, while the expanding footprints of Zionsville and Whitestown signal modern growth in the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, including the Mount Union Cem and the Smith-Shepherd Cem, reflecting the area's deep-rooted family farming history. The boundary between Boone and Hendricks counties cuts through the southern section, where the W Fork White Lick Cr meanders toward Pittsboro. This map documents a transitional period where traditional prairie land and family cemeteries sit alongside suburban developments like those found near Anson Blvd.
