About this map

Greensburg serves as the focal point of this Indiana study, showing a concentrated urban center defined by a grid of schools and public institutions. The city is home to the Courthouse, City Hall, and County Memorial Hospital, along with social landmarks like the Ymca and the Odd Fellows Home. Transportation is dominated by the Conrail railroad and the historic Michigan Road, which cut through the town and connect it to the surrounding agricultural landscape of Washington township.

Moving away from the city center, the terrain is shaped by the winding paths of Sand Creek and the Muscatatuck River. Small rural clusters such as Knarr Corner and Slabtown emerge at crossroads, while the landscape is dotted with numerous family and community cemeteries, including Rosenmund Cem and Springer Cem. The presence of several country churches, such as St Pauls Ch, alongside rural schools like Hazelrigg Sch, reveals the established social fabric of Decatur County at mid-century.
