About this map

Greensburg serves as the central hub of this Decatur County landscape, where an organized street grid meets the winding courses of Sand Creek and Salt Creek. The area's heritage is deeply etched into the land through a series of significant burial grounds, including South Park Cem and Saint Marys Cem, which anchor the southern and western edges of the city. Beyond the urban center, the geography transitions into a network of smaller crossroads and rural settlements like McCoy and Slabtown.

Water management and natural drainage are prominent features of the region, evidenced by Reed Reservoir and the expansive Lake McCoy to the east. To the south, the terrain is defined by the Vernon Fork Muscatatuck River and its various tributaries, including Lost Fork and Cobbs Fork. These waterways historically dictated the placement of outlying communities such as Smyrna and Middle Branch, providing a detailed look at the rural development patterns of southeastern Indiana.
