2013 Map of Shirley

About this map

Markleville and Shirley anchor this portion of East Central Indiana, where a highly organized grid of county roads defines the agricultural landscape. The region is characterized by an extensive network of managed waterways, including Chadwick Ditch, Farmer Ditch, and Collier Ditch, reflecting the historical importance of drainage for local farming. In the southern half of the map, the settlements of Wilkinson and Kennard sit near the winding course of Sixmile Cr, while the Sugar Creek Air Park offers a notable modern landmark. The agricultural character is further emphasized by seasonally named water features such as Oats Run, Grain Cr, Corn Run, and Maize Run, which highlight the primary crops that have long sustained these rural communities.
