The top picture was made better through an adobe program so may be readible on the net.

I was asked how to get there from I-70/I-74 from Indianapolis, Indiana. From the map it appears from Downtown Indianapolis take I-70 to the Belt _465 south or east. At that point you can either take I-70 on Westbound to State Hwy 39, that runs it St Hwy 67, but the better road on the map would be to stay on I-465 to St Hwy 67 all the way through Paragon and follow the directions for the Old Hwy 67 from that point.
