2018 Map of Panama

About this map

Panama and Westphalia anchor this portion of Shelby County, where the agricultural grid is etched into a landscape defined by the drainage of several winding creeks. The town of Panama is situated at a point where Railway St and Main St meet, while Westphalia lies to the east along Street F32. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, including Saint Marys Cem and Saint Boniface Cem, alongside three larger township grounds: Washington Township Cem, Lincoln Township Cem, and Cass Township Cem. The terrain is carved by the headwaters and branches of Mosquito Cr, Silver Cr, and Keg Cr, which dictate the placement of local routes like Elmwood Loop and Dogwood Loop.
