About this map

New Point sits at the heart of this Decatur County landscape, serving as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural communities. The terrain is defined by the branching waterways of Salt Cr and Tub Cr, which carve through the till plains to the north. To the east, the boundary between Decatur and Franklin counties cuts through Enochsburg, while the southern reaches are marked by the winding course of Laughery Creek.

Local heritage is preserved in numerous burial grounds across the townships, including Saint Maurice Cem, Old Rossburg Church Cem, and Maple Cem. The map captures the infrastructure supporting the region's economy, from the Batesville Airport near the eastern edge to the established road network connecting outlying settlements like Saint Maurice and New Pennington. These details reflect a long-standing pattern of rural Indiana life where small village centers and country churches anchor the social geography.
