About this map

Simpsonville serves as the primary hub of this Shelby County landscape, where the Midland Trail and the Louisville and Nashville tracks parallel each other through the northern fields. The geography is defined by the winding paths of Bullskin Creek and the deep meanders of Brashears Creek to the south, creating a complex drainage system that shaped early settlement patterns.

Smaller communities like Lincoln Ridge, Veechdale, and Finchville are connected by a network of historic transit routes, including the Brunerstown Road and Taylor Woods Road. Local heritage is visible in the placement of the Buck Creek Sch and Shiloh Ch, alongside numerous small cemeteries marked simply as Cem. The map also captures the path of a major Pipeline and the Southern railway line, illustrating the mid-century infrastructure supporting this agricultural region.
