About this map

The city of Shelbyville serves as the focal point of this Indiana landscape, situated at the confluence of the Big Blue River and the Little Blue River. In the mid-2010s, the area reflects a transition between dense municipal development and a surrounding grid of agricultural land defined by a complex network of drainage ditches, such as Bowman Ditch, De Heur Ditch, and Mohr Ditch. Residential expansion is evident in various named developments and villages like Walkerville, Crestmoor, Wellington Heights, and Lantana Estate, which ring the central city.

Infrastructure like the Shelbyville Municipal Airport and the heavy line of the interstate corridor near Clover Village and Fairland show the modern connectivity of the region. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several sites, including Saint Josephs Cem and the Marion Cem to the north. Smaller pockets of settlement like Marion and Meiks appear along the northeastern edge, while the south is marked by the distinct path of Roberts Ditch and Van Pelt Ditch.
