About this map

The Indiana Village for Epileptics dominates the northwest corner of this Henry County landscape, organized into numbered colonies such as Colony No 1 and Colony No 3. This institutional complex, including the Van Nuys settlement, highlights early 20th-century approaches to state-managed care. To the south, the city of New Castle exhibits a dense grid of residential and industrial development, supported by a significant convergence of rail lines including the Pennsylvania and the New York Chicago and St Louis. The surrounding countryside is dotted with rural centers like Ashland and Millville, where small schools like Ashland Sch and churches like Batson Ch served local farming families. Notable landmarks such as the Municipal Airport and Baker Park reflect the mid-century growth of the county seat.
