About this map

The Great Miami River and the Dry Fork Whitewater River define the agricultural and suburban landscape of this portion of Butler County. The settlement of Shandon serves as a focal point, supported by the Shandon Post Office and nearby New London Cemetery. This 2010 survey highlights a transition from traditional rural life to modern recreation and light infrastructure, as evidenced by the large Miami Whitewater Forest Lake and its associated Miami Whitewater Forest Dam in the southwest.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, including the Shaker Cemetery, Sater Cemetery, and United Brethren Cemetery. Transportation routes like Hamilton New London Rd and Ross Millville Rd link small communities such as Layhigh, Atomic View, and New Baltimore. The presence of Raylene Airport and Fort Scott reflects the diverse land use in the river valleys during the early twenty-first century.
