2021 Map of Shackleford

About this map

Salt Springs and the rural crossroads of Cretcher anchor this agricultural landscape in Saline County, where a dense network of county roads connects family-named landmarks and local burial grounds. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems including Salt Br, Straddle Cr, and the multiple branches of W Fork Finney Cr, which feed into larger regional watersheds. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of several cemeteries—including Antioch Cem, Goshen Cem, and the Bailey Family Cem—provides specific points of interest for tracing family roots within the township. Near the southwestern corner, Blind Pony Lake stands out as a significant water feature, while the outskirts of Marshall appear in the northeast, marking the transition from quiet rural settlements like Herndon to more developed municipal boundaries.
