2015 Map of Stewardson East

About this map

The W Br Little Wabash River and its numerous tributaries, including Sexson Br and Brush Cr, define the drainage patterns of this eastern Shelby County landscape. Small rural communities like Strasburg, South Strasburg, and Stewardson anchor the western edge of the quadrangle, while Trowbridge and Kingman are situated further east among the winding creeks. The distribution of family and community burial grounds is particularly dense here, suggesting a long-established agricultural settlement pattern. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of the Saint Patick's Cem, Rincker Cem, and the Lower Ash Grove Cem, along with others like the Swedish Cem and Spain Cem. These landmarks, along with named roads such as E Main St and N Elizabeth St, provide a precise spatial framework for tracing 21st-century local history.
