About this map

New Castle serves as the eastern anchor for this Henry County landscape, where the urban grid of the city's west side gives way to a network of rural townships and winding waterways. The Big Blue River and Westwood Run feed into the prominent Westwood Park Reservoir, a central geographic feature surrounded by specialized recreation paths like the Stout Woods Trail. Smaller villages such as Sulphur Springs, Cadiz, and Greensboro are linked by a precise grid of county roads, reflecting the organized agricultural development of central Indiana.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the expansive South Mound Cem and smaller sectarian grounds like the Cadiz Friends Cem and Saint Annes Catholic Cem. The presence of Ferrell Airport and the rail line near Westwood highlights the area's ongoing connection to transportation and local industry. Water features like Sugar Cr, Gander Run, and Quack Run define the drainage patterns between the various settlements.
