About this map

The western outskirts of New Castle and the rural townships of Henry County define this landscape, where the Big Blue River and its numerous tributaries like Duck Creek and Montgomery Creek carve through the glacial till of east-central Indiana. Several small crossroads and rail-aligned settlements dot the quadrangle, including Cadiz, Mount Lawn, and the industrial-tinged Fayne Siding to the north.

Genealogists will find a concentration of burial grounds, such as South Mound Cemetery near the city edge and the smaller Quaker Cemetery and Hess Cemetery further west. Water management is a visible priority across the terrain, evidenced by the Westwood Park Reservoir and the Giboney Lake Dam. The map also captures the intricate network of county roads that have long dictated the movement of goods and people between agricultural centers like Mount Summit and the commercial hub of New Castle.
