About this map

The town of Lewisville serves as a primary hub for this mid-century agricultural landscape in southeastern Henry County. The intersection of local commerce and heavy transportation is evident along the Pennsylvania railroad line, which links the settlements of Straughn and Lewisville across a terrain defined by subtle drainages. Further north, the New York Chicago and St Louis rail corridor passes through New Lisbon, illustrating the density of regional transit that supported Indiana's farming economy during this era.

Local life is anchored by a network of country churches, including Rich Square Ch and Salem Ch, often located near the winding courses of Flatrock Creek and Applebutter Creek. The map also captures the meeting of several administrative boundaries, where Henry, Fayette, and Rush counties converge near Ebenezer Ch. These features offer a detailed perspective for those studying family history or the evolution of rural township life in Franklin and Dudley townships.
