About this map

The Flatrock River and its various tributaries, including the Little Flatrock River, carve through this central Indiana landscape, defining the boundaries between Anderson, Richland, and Clinton townships. In the late 1950s, the village of Milroy served as a primary hub for this rural community, situated near the confluence of Lick Creek and the river. Numerous small family and community cemeteries are scattered across the farmland, such as Overtese Cem, Layton Cem, and Butcher Cem, providing a direct link to the region's 19th-century genealogical roots.

The distribution of Gas Wells throughout the territory points to the area's subterranean resources, while cultural landmarks like the Drive-in Theater south of Milroy and Springhill Ch illustrate the mid-century social landscape. To the south, Sandusky and Kingston appear as smaller crossroads settlements, with the latter featuring a dedicated Twp Sch and easy access to the branching waters of Sand Creek.
