About this map

The agricultural landscape of southern Shelby County is defined here by the winding course of the Blue River and the engineered drainage of numerous waterways like Roberts Ditch and Thompson Ditch. Small rural hubs such as Smithland and Lewis Creek anchor the community, connected by the Pennsylvania railroad line that cuts north-south through the center of the sheet. For those researching local family histories, several burial grounds are scattered across the townships, including Tindall Cem, Miller Cem, and Patterson Cem. A significant civic landmark, the County Home, sits near the Shelby Township School on the eastern edge of the survey. The terrain transitions from the lowlands near Flatrock Creek in the south to the distinct rises of McCrea Hill and McFarren Hill in the west, illustrating the topographic variety of the Indiana countryside just after the war.
