About this map

The Great Miami River winds through Shelby County, defining the settlement patterns of this agrarian region. Along its banks, Port Jefferson and Pasco serve as historic focal points, connected by a network of rural roads such as Pasco Montra Rd and Dingman Slagle Rd. The map reveals a dense concentration of burial grounds that offer significant value for genealogical research, including the Pioneer Cemetery near the river and the Old Dunkard Cemetery further south. These sites, along with others like Cedar Point Cemetery and Glen Cemetery, reflect the generational stability of the local communities.

To the east, Pemberton is another notable cluster, centered around its local post office and the intersection of Thompson Rd. The landscape is primarily defined by its drainage systems, with Turkeyfoot Creek, Little Indian Creek, and Mosquito Creek carving through the farmland. This survey provides a clear view of the area's infrastructure, from its small village centers to the established cemeteries that anchor its family histories.
