About this map

Carrollton and Reedville Station sit along the dividing line between Hancock and Shelby counties, surrounded by a landscape engineered for drainage and agriculture. The terrain is defined by a dense network of man-made waterways including Snodgrass Ditch, MacDougall Ditch, and Thompson Ditch, which redirect water toward larger natural courses like Brandywine Creek and Little Sugar Creek. This intricate system reflects the long-term transformation of Central Indiana prairie and wetlands into productive farmland.

Local family history is preserved in several small burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Little Sugar Creek Cem near the northern border and Fairview Cem to the south. These sites, along with others like Pelham Cem and Fisher Cem, mark the legacy of early settlements in the region. The road network follows a strict grid, punctuated by thoroughfares like W Brookville Rd that connect these rural communities.
