2010 Map of Shannondale

About this map

Shannondale and the surrounding agricultural landscape are defined by a complex network of waterways and drainage systems. The terrain is characterized by the winding paths of Little Sugar Creek and Walnut Fork Sugar Creek, while an extensive system of engineered channels like Gray Ditch, Bodher Ditch, and Needham Ditch reveals the region's long-standing focus on land reclamation for farming. Small rural clusters like Log Cabin Crossroads and Beckville anchor the township, connected by a rigid grid of county roads. Local history and genealogy are preserved at the Pisgah Cemetery and Cox Cemetery, while Pennington Lake provides a rare contained water feature amidst the prevailing creeks and drainage ditches that feed toward Hazel Creek and Dixon Creek.
