Two entries from the old county list, Norway and Smithson, are unverified as distinct named places against current gazetteer sources and are omitted here rather than published on guesswork; Seafield, previously listed, is treated as part of Union Township near Indiana Beach rather than as a separate community. Indiana Beach, on Lake Shafer at Monticello, is the county’s best-known unincorporated place — a lakeside resort area rather than a town in its own right.<\/p>\n
