BOUNDARY SIZE · AS OF NOVEMBER 2026
Around the two state roads, the county system prints at its class: the township's county roads are the Commissioners' and trustees' system of the Howard article — petitioned, viewed, graveled by statute labour — and no individual township road's course or name is dug in this section beyond what the record volunteers. What it volunteers: Pierce Road, SR 4's continuation past US 31 (see the SR 4 article); the Jefferson Boulevard / Market Street couplet of the banked frame; Wabash AvenueG-W2R-13, residue). The palimpsest, then, is four layers legible at once: the section-line grid of 1836 under everything; the stage course of 1878, its line unrecoverable beyond its endpoints; the gravel road Howard names without coursing; and the two numbered pavements of 1930 and the 1940s, which are the town's roads today.
The modern frame, as of November 2026: the INDOT highway map (2026, read at map strength) shows SR 4 and SR 23 crossing in town as they have since the 1940s; the town's wayfinding names Potato Creek State Park as the corridor's anchor destination east. No traffic count (AADT) for either road in town was retrieved — the INDOT count resources reached returned no usable figure — and none is printed: the item stands as gap G-W2R-10, its settler the INDOT Traffic Count Database System queried directly. A corridor that began in a silent chapter ends, for now, in an uncounted one; the roads themselves are documented whole.
