About this map

Greensburg serves as a regional anchor in this 2019 survey, where modern transportation infrastructure meets a landscape deeply marked by its rural heritage. The expansion of Greensburg is evident near the Greensburg Municipal Airport and along the W Interstate 74 Frontage Rd, providing a clear view of how transit corridors have shaped recent development. This contemporary layout contrasts with the established patterns of smaller outlying settlements like Milford, Harris City, and Forest Hill.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous small burial grounds that dot the township lines, including Patrick Cem and the Columbia Cem near Horace. The drainage of the area is defined by Sand Creek and its various tributaries like Fall Fork, which carve through the grid of county roads. The map documents the enduring footprint of agricultural life in Decatur County, from the central town out to the reaches of Ewington and Craig.
