About this map

Shannondale serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Boone County, where the transition between natural waterways and engineered drainage defines the terrain. The presence of Needham Booher Ditch, Gray Ditch, and Cross Ditch alongside winding streams like Hazel Cr and Little Sugar Cr illustrates a long history of land management for farming. These ditches often follow section lines, cutting straight paths through the undulating plains to manage the watershed of the Walnut Fork Sugar Cr.

Small rural clusters like Log Cabin Crossroads and Beckville punctuate the grid of county roads, appearing as legacy settlements within the modern township structure. To the west, Pennington Lake offers a rare break in the sequence of woodlots and fields. The map provides a detailed view of the local infrastructure, from the path of Little Cr to the various numbered county roads that link these tight-knit communities together.
