2012 Map of Windsor

About this map

Windsor serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, where the grid of rural roads meets the diagonal passage of the railroad corridor. The area is notable for its unusually high density of small family and community burial grounds, which provide a significant record of early settlement patterns across Shelby County. These sites, including Old Lynn Creek Cem, Cochran Cem, and Point Lookout Cem, are scattered among the headwaters of the W Br Little Wabash River and its various tributaries like Richland Cr and Sand Cr. To the southeast, the small junction of Sexson Corner marks the transition toward more dissected terrain near Sexson Br, illustrating how local hydrology influenced the placement of original farmsteads and the eventual development of the township road system.
