2016 Map of Milroy

About this map

Milroy and Richland anchor this rural landscape in southeastern Indiana, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including North Branch Clifty Creek and the Little Flatrock River. The distribution of small family and community burial grounds, such as Overleese Cem and Butcher Cem, suggests a pattern of long-established agricultural settlement across the Rush and Decatur County line. Transportation follows a strict section-line grid, punctuated by W State Rd 244 connecting the primary hamlets. Smaller crossings like Williamstown and Sandusky reflect the early 21st-century character of these upland farming communities. The numerous branches of Clifty Creek, including S Br Clifty Cr and Middle Branch Clifty Creek, illustrate the complex drainage that has shaped the placement of farmsteads and rural roads for generations.
