Sandcut is a small place in Indiana, a state in the United States. It's called an "unincorporated community" because it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Sandcut is found in Vigo County, specifically in Otter Creek Township. It's also part of the larger Terre Haute metropolitan area, which means it's near the city of Terre Haute. A small stream called Little Gundy Creek flows nearby. Sandcut even has its own volunteer fire department, helping to keep everyone safe.
