About this map

The Courthouse and surrounding city grid of Greensburg serve as the hub for this Decatur County landscape, where the New York Central railroad and the historic Michigan Road intersect. This survey illustrates the mid-century expansion of the city, with neighborhood schools like Billings Sch and Washington Sch serving the growing residential areas. Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural farmsteads and small crossroads communities, such as Knarr Corner and Slabtown.

Waterways like Sand Creek and the Muscatatuck River carve through the agricultural land, which is dotted with country institutions including Sand Creek Ch and Hazelrigg Sch. Notable landmarks like Lake McCoy and several family-named burial grounds, such as Springer Cem, provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the heritage of Washington and Marion townships during this era of post-war development.
