About this map

National Road and the parallel tracks of Conrail anchor the settlement patterns of this section of east-central Indiana. The village of Dunreith sits at a critical junction where these primary east-west corridors meet the Norfolk and Western line, illustrating the historical importance of rail and road transport in Henry County. To the north, Spiceland and Greensboro are surrounded by a landscape divided by the Blue River and Buck Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community landmarks, including Hickside Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Reddick Cem. The industrial and natural history of the area is further evidenced by Stone Quarry Mills along the river and the Knightstown Spring near the western boundary. The map captures the transition of historical thoroughfares like Old 40 as they were superseded by modern interstate infrastructure.
