About this map

The town of Thorntown serves as the primary hub in this section of Boone County, situated along the banks of Sugar Cr and Prairie Cr. The landscape is defined by a dense network of county roads and drainage systems essential to Indiana's agricultural heartland, including Sims Rogers Ditch and Harr Wills Ditch. Smaller rural settlements like Manson, Antioch, and Reagan are connected by a grid of numbered roads, reflecting the organized settlement patterns of the region.

Interstate 65 cuts diagonally through the center of the sheet, illustrating the transition from local rural life to regional transportation corridors. Water features such as Little Potato Cr and Goldsberry Cr meander through the farmland, punctuated by local landmarks like the Oxidation Pond and School St in the north. This map provides a clear record of the modern rural layout, from established town centers to the minor named runs and ditches that manage the local watershed.
