2016 Map of Greenfield

About this map

Greenfield and the surrounding Hancock County agricultural landscape are defined by an intricate network of drainage ditches and the winding course of Brandywine Creek. This central Indiana region, captured in 2016, showcases a grid of country roads connecting established hamlets like Mohawk, Maxwell, and Philadelphia. The map is particularly rich for family researchers, as it identifies numerous small burying grounds such as Willet Cem and Griffith Cem that dot the farmland. To the west, the village of Spring Lake surrounds its namesake water body near Sugar Creek, while the residential development of Bowman Acres sits south of the main city. Modern infrastructure, including the Pennsy Trl and various utility ditches like Leary Weber Ditch, illustrates how the land has been managed for both transport and agriculture over generations.
