2016 Map of New Castle East

About this map

New Castle serves as the focal point for this survey of eastern Henry County, where the street grid of the city meets an expansive network of rural drains and tributaries. The landscape is defined by its agricultural and drainage history, with numerous named waterways such as Flatrock River, Little Blue River, and the Millville Drain cutting across the section lines. Small communities and named clusters like Mooreland, Millville, and Messick are connected by a rigid system of county roads, reflecting the traditional township and range survey system typical of the Midwest. Genealogists will find several burial sites including Livezey Cem and White Heart Cem, while aviation history is represented by the New Castle-Henry County Municipal Airport to the south. The transition from the urban streets of Belmont and New Castle to the outlying settlements of Van Nuys and Ashland illustrates the region's enduring settlement patterns.
