1960 Map of New Castle East

About this map

The Indiana Village for Epileptics dominates the northwestern portion of this Henry County survey, featuring several distinct campuses including Colony No 1, Colony No 2, and Colony No 3 near the settlement of Van Nuys. The landscape is a mix of agricultural fields and small residential clusters, with the city of New Castle expanding eastward toward the New Castle Municipal Airport. Waterways such as the Big Blue River and Flatrock River drain the region, flanked by numerous small runs like Moonshine Run and Lavender Run. In the south, the Norfolk and Western railroad corridor passes through Ashland and Millville, while the northern reaches include the community of Mooreland. Local social foundations are well-marked by landmarks like the Ashland Sch, South Mound Cem, and White Heart Ch.
