About this map

Greensburg serves as the hub of Decatur County, where the historic Courthouse and Post Office anchor a landscape transitioning from urban streets to productive Indiana farmland. Originally surveyed in the late 1950s with updates into the early 1990s, the map reveals a settlement pattern dictated by the Michigan road and a network of creeks. To the south and east, smaller crossroads communities like Knarr Corner, Slabtown, and Smyrna appear alongside rural landmarks such as Hazelrigg Sch and the Sand Creek Ch.

Water plays a central role in the geography here, with Lake McCoy situated to the east and numerous waterways including Sand Creek, Cobbs Fork, and the Vernon Fork Muscatatuck River carving through the terrain. The presence of several family and parish grounds, including Rosenmund Cem and St Marys Cem, provides essential data for genealogists tracing the early residents of Washington and Marion townships.
