About this map

Center Point sits at the heart of this Clay County landscape, where a grid of rural roads connects several small settlements and historic crossroads. The drainage patterns of Hog Cr and Birch Cr influence the local topography, leading toward the southeastern corner where the Eel River and Jordan Cr converge near Bowling Green. This area demonstrates the persistent layout of Indiana's agricultural heartland, with communities like Ashboro, Hoosierville, and Asherville maintaining their distinct identities along established routes like N Meridian Rd and Harmony Rd.

Water features define the northern and western sections, including the curiously named Lake in the Woods and Dietz Lake. Subtle landmarks such as Lap Corner, Roadman Corner, and Vinegar Hill highlight the local vernacular of the terrain. The presence of the E Frontage Rd and modern interstate corridors alongside traditional section lines illustrates the layer of contemporary transit over a century-old rural foundation.
