2010 Map of Cleveland

About this map

Brandywine Creek and its many tributaries, including Nameless Creek and Little Brandywine Creek, carve through the structured grid of Hancock County’s agricultural landscape. The map shows the eastern edge of Greenfield and small crossroads like Stringtown and Riley, illustrating how mid-century residential growth began to interface with traditional farmsteads. For genealogists, the landscape is dotted with ancestral burial grounds such as Pratt Cemetery, Barrett Cemetery, and Simmons Cemetery, often situated near the meandering watercourses that likely influenced early settlement patterns. Aviation history is noted by the presence of Pope Field, while the Pennsy Trl follows a decommissioned rail corridor through the heart of the county. The transition from established rural communities like Westland to the expanding suburban outskirts provides a clear view of Indiana's evolving land use at the start of the 21st century.
