About this map

Shannondale sits at the junction of the Montgomery and Boone county line, serving as a central point in this agricultural landscape. The region is defined by a complex network of managed waterways and natural streams, including Little Sugar Creek and Walnut Fork Sugar Creek. The rural character of the area is further evidenced by small crossroads settlements like Log Cabin Crossroads and Beckville, which anchor the local road grid.

Genealogists and local historians can locate smaller landmarks such as Pisgah Cem near the southern boundary and Cox Cem in the northeast. The transition from natural creeks like Hazel Cr to man-made drainage systems such as Cross Ditch and Needham Booher Ditch reveals the long-term engineering of the Indiana till plain for farming. This 2019 survey provides a precise look at these persisting family-named landmarks and historical community centers.
