About this map

The town of Greensburg serves as the focal point for this survey of southern Indiana, where the landscape is defined by the transition from municipal infrastructure to broad agricultural tracts. Essential local services and recreational sites are well-documented, including the Greensburg-Decatur Co Airport, a Golf Course, and the Greensburg Reservoir State Fishing Area. The mapping highlights several small settlements and rural crossroads such as Harris City, Horace, Milford, and the village of Forest Hill at the southern edge.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural landmarks, with numerous family and community burial sites like Mowery Cem, Mt Pleasant Cem, and Patrick Cem distributed across the townships of Clay and Washington. The physical history of the region is traced through the Vandalia railroad line and various transport corridors labeled as Old Grade and Old Railroad Grade, reflecting the changing movement of people and goods through Sand Creek toward the turn of the century.
