About this map

Carthage sits along the upper reaches of the Big Blue River in northern Rush County, serving as a primary hub in a landscape defined by traditional Indiana agriculture. The town's grid is detailed with street names like North Main St and East 5th St, while Riverside Cem overlooks the river's edge. Further south, the community of Arlington is established at a crossroads where Arlington East Hill Cem and local post office facilities are situated.

Smaller hamlets and drainage projects characterize the surrounding countryside, including Boyd, Farmers, and Henderson. The territory is intricately networked by water management features like Herkless Ditch and Henderson Ditch, which support the fertile farm ground between the river forks. Genealogists can find significant local landmarks such as Ball Cem and the quiet waters of Frank Alexander Lake, while aviation history is represented by the Stevens Farms Airport.
