2010 Map of Thorntown

About this map

Thorntown serves as the primary hub in this corner of Boone County, situated along the banks of Sugar Creek. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of rural roads and small crossroads settlements, including Manson, Antioch, and Reagan. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is a vital record of several area burial grounds, such as Maple Lawn Cemetery, Bethel Hill Cemetery, and Brush Creek Cemetery. The intricate network of waterways, including Little Potato Creek, Goldsberry Creek, and Brush Creek, illustrates the natural drainage patterns that have shaped agricultural development here. In the northeast, Clark Airport stands as a notable landmark near the Reagan area. The presence of the Oxidation Pond near Thorntown and the various ditches like Nagle Ditch and Wills Ditch highlight the intersection of natural water systems and early 21st-century infrastructure.
