2019 Map of Milroy

About this map

Milroy and Richland anchor the northern landscape of this agricultural region in eastern Indiana, where the terrain is defined by the branching waters of Clifty Creek. The area exhibits a classic midwestern section-line road grid, with many routes still designated by their coordinate positions like E 900 S or S Base Rd. Small crossroad communities such as Williamstown and Sandusky appear alongside a high density of burial grounds, including the Old Richland Methodist Cem and the Overleese Cem. These cemeteries, often tucked near creek bends or along section lines, provide a clear genealogical record of the families who established the homesteads in Rush and Decatur counties. To the south, Kingston sits near the headwaters of Muddy Fork Sand Cr, illustrating how early settlements were positioned in proximity to both the drainage network and the developing county road system.
