About this map

Jacksonville serves as a focal point in this portion of Shelby County, situated where Co Rd M56 meets 1000th St. The surrounding landscape is defined by the winding course of the East Branch West Nishnabotna River and its various tributaries, including Elm Cr, Bonnie Cr, and Wolf Cr. Small rural clusters like Red Line and Bowmans Grove appear alongside numerous landmarks essential for genealogical research.

Several burial grounds are documented throughout the township, such as Danway Cem, Poplar Cem, and the Bethlehem Lutheran Cem. The map illustrates a developed grid of rural roads, with many bearing botanical names like Redbud Rd, Spruce Loop, and Sequoia Loop. This network reflects the organized agricultural divisions typical of the region, providing a clear view of the settlement pattern in the late 2010s.
