About this map

The Big Blue River meanders through this portion of Shelby County, Indiana, anchoring a landscape defined by its agricultural heritage and small-town corridors. Morristown stands as the central hub, situated along the diagonal path of U.S. Route 52, which also connects to the nearby settlement of Gwynneville. The river's influence on the local topography is evident at Hog Back, a distinctive ridge overlooking the water's edge south of town.

Rural life is marked by specialized operations like the Hillcrest Tree Farm and aviation infrastructure at Willis Airport and its neighboring Willis Airport Site No. 2. Water resources are abundant, from the Hamilton Twin Lake in the east to several named tributaries such as Sixmile Cr, Nameless Cr, and Prairie Run. This survey offers a clear view of the rectilinear road grid and the way local waterways dictate the layout of properties and transport routes across the central Indiana plain.
