1954 Map of New Castle

About this map

New Castle serves as the focal point of this Henry County survey, situated at the intersection of a localized road network that radiates toward agricultural valleys. The topography is defined by winding drainage systems including White Fork Sulphur and Fallen Timber Creek, which carve into the upland plateaus. To the south, the northern edge of Eminence is visible near Eminence Lake, showing the early stages of mid-century suburban expansion. Local civic life is evidenced by the Central High Sch and the Mt Gilead Ch, alongside recreational sites like the Henry County Rod and Gun Club Lake. The mapping, updated with purple revisions from the late 1970s, illustrates the subtle growth of these rural centers while maintaining the primary character of a landscape defined by its creek-bottoms and ridges.
