About this map

The Flatrock River winds through the southeastern portion of this landscape, carving a path past the established communities of St. Paul and Germantown. This region of Shelby County is defined by its agricultural grid, where numerous family and community burial grounds like Vienna Cem, Simmons Cem, and Means Cem are preserved among the fields. The settlement pattern shows a concentration of activity along E Michigan Rd, connecting the towns of Waldron and Middletown.

To the west, the land softens as it approaches the outskirts of Shelbyville, with smaller residential pockets like Pleasure Valley and Sleepy Hollow appearing near the banks of Lewis Creek. The presence of Whelen Airport near the northern boundary and the localized landmark of Fischer Field contrast with the traditional rural character of the area. Tracing the numerous ditches and creeks, such as Amos Ditch and Conns Creek, reveals the intricate drainage system that has supported this fertile Indiana farmland for generations.
