About this map

Greensburg serves as the primary hub in this late-1950s landscape, featuring its local Fairgrounds, the County Home, and the Greensburg Reservoir State Fishing Area. The township boundaries of Clay, Washington, Marion, and Sand Creek meet amidst a sprawling agricultural grid defined by watercourses like Clifty Creek and the Muddy Fork.

Tracing the rural infrastructure reveals an Old Railroad Grade cutting across the terrain, reflecting shifts in transportation as the Conrail line dominates the northern sector. For family historians, numerous small burial grounds and congregations such as Columbia Cem, Patrick Cem, and Liberty Ch are preserved here, alongside smaller settlements like Harris City, Horace, and Forest Hill that punctuate the intersections of the Vandalia Road and surrounding county routes.
