About this map

Sulphur Springs and Mount Summit anchor the southern portion of this topographic survey, illustrating the settled character of Henry County as it transitioned through the mid-20th century. The landscape is a network of drainage ditches and family-named waterways, including Abshire Ditch, Peckinpaugh Ditch, and Honey Creek. These features underscore the agricultural necessity of water management in this part of Indiana. Small, scattered settlements like Springport and Oakville are connected by a grid of rural roads and the rail line that runs through the eastern townships.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local cemeteries and churches. Sites such as Sunderland Cem in the north and Woodlawn Cem near Springport provide essential markers for family history. The presence of Tabor Ch and White Ch further defines these rural neighborhoods, while landmarks like the Radio Tower and Storage Bins reflect the technological and industrial infrastructure supporting the local economy.
