2019 Map of Knightstown

About this map

Knightstown and its neighboring settlements occupy the boundary lands where Hancock, Henry, and Rush Counties meet. This 2019 survey documents the enduring agricultural landscape of central Indiana, anchored by the Big Blue River and its numerous tributaries such as Montgomery Cr and Threemile Creek. The map provides significant genealogical value through its depiction of several local burial grounds, including Glencove Cem and the small Carthage Cem to the south. The transition from established village centers like Charlottesville and Raysville to outlying hamlets like Grant City and Maple Valley reflects the region's long-standing township-and-range settlement pattern. Researchers can trace the modern road network against older waterways like Sixmile Cr and Buck Cr, seeing how contemporary development aligns with the historic drainage of the Indiana plains.
