2019 Map of Sidney

About this map

Sidney and its surrounding Shelby County townships are meticulously documented in this contemporary survey, centering on the Shelby County Courthouse and the city's residential expansion. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Turtle Creek and its various tributaries, including E Turtle Cr and Tilberry Run, which cut through the agricultural sections of the county. A high density of rural burial grounds, such as Old Saint James Cem, Pearl Cem, and McClure Cem, provides a detailed record of local family history and settlement patterns. Beyond the city limits, the map traces the outlying communities of Swanders to the north and Hardin to the west, linked by a grid of county and township roads. The survey also captures industrial and civic landmarks, from the Graceland Cem to the south to the network of ditches like Kiser Ditch used for regional water management.
