About this map

Lewisville and Straughn anchor this East Central Indiana landscape, situated along the storied corridor of the National Rd. The area is defined by its agricultural heritage and an intricate network of water management, where natural waterways like the Flatrock River and Symons Cr are supplemented by man-made improvements such as Mercer Ditch and Hall Ditch. These features illustrate the historical effort to drain the fertile till plains for farming.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable burial grounds, including Ebenezer Cem near the river and Shanee Bluff Cem further south. The settlement of New Lisbon occupies the northeast corner, while the intersection of rural township lines—including the borders between Henry, Rush, and Fayette counties—reveals the 19th-century administrative structure of the region. This survey details the transition from traditional watercourses like Applebutter Cr to a more structured grid of county roads that facilitate the movement of goods through the heart of the state.
