About this map

Prairie landscapes and structured agricultural grids define Henry County just after the war, where small crossroads communities and rural institutions mark the landscape west of the regional hub. Local landmarks such as the County Home and Western Air Field sit on the outskirts of New Castle, showing the expansion of civic and transport infrastructure during this era. The map provides a detailed view of the social fabric of the late 1940s, documenting several country congregations like Sugar Grove Ch and Mt Zion Ch, as well as the Sugar Grove Sch.
