About this map

New Ross sits at the intersection of several significant local routes and watercourses in this west-central Indiana landscape. The settlement's layout is closely tied to the diagonal path of the regional thoroughfare, where State St and New Ross Rd meet. The surrounding agricultural land is drained by a network of waterways, including Big Raccoon Creek, Cornstalk Cr, and Walnut Fork Sugar Creek to the north. These streams define the rolling topography between the larger hubs of Jamestown and Advance.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of small, family-named burial grounds scattered across the townships. From the Kidd Farm Cem and Adams Cem in the south to the Porter Cem and Brown Cem near the central drainage of Big Raccoon Cr, these sites provide a clear record of early landownership. The map also documents the precise meeting point of Montgomery, Boone, and Hendricks counties, showing how these political boundaries intersect with rural roads like Co Line Rd.
