1953 Map of Acton
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The southeastern outskirts of the Indianapolis metropolitan area are shown here as a patchwork of productive farmland and small rail-centered villages in the early 1950s. Acton and Brookfield sit along the New York Central line, while New Palestine anchors the northern reach along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The landscape is deeply carved by the drainage of Sugar Creek and Buck Creek, where numerous family-named landmarks and pioneer burying grounds reflect the area's 19th-century settlement roots.
