2016 Map of Lewisville

About this map

Lewisville and Straughn sit along the historic National Rd corridor in this mid-2010s survey of the eastern Indiana borderlands. The landscape is defined by its rectilinear grid of county roads and a complex network of agricultural waterways, including Mercer Ditch, Glidden Ditch, and Hall Ditch, which drain the fertile plains between the Flatrock River and Symons Cr. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the location of several small burial grounds such as Ebenezer Cem near the river and Shanee Bluff Cem to the south. The intersection of local county roads like N Wilbur Wright Rd and the throughways of the interstate era illustrate the evolution of transit in this rural region near the Henry and Rush County line.
