California has a prohibition against landlocking property. In fact, it just cannot happen because the law doesn't allow it. Any such thing like this in Indiana?

Well if you mean ANY property, no such thing. A family recently gave the city of Greenfield a few acres. The city would love to make it into a park since there is not much park land on the west area of the city. The problem is that it's land locked. So I would assume that over the years the property around this area was legally sold to others even though it would land lock.
