2021 Map of Nelsonville

About this map

Nelsonville and the surrounding farmland of Marion, Lewis, and Shelby Counties are defined by a complex network of waterways feeding the South Fabius River. This modern survey reveals a landscape where rural life is organized around these drainage patterns, with smaller tributaries like Troublesome Cr, Long Br, and Brower Br carving through the agricultural terrain. The map provides clear evidence of the area's early social foundations, notably at the Methodist Cem near Sigsbee and the Haycraft Bridge crossing. While the primary road network is established by State Hwy D and State Hwy J, a dense grid of numbered county roads and avenues shows the continued division of land into small-scale farming plots, punctuated by features like Tallent Lake.
