1962 Map of Acton
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Acton and New Palestine anchor this landscape of transitioning farmland and growing residential developments at the intersection of Marion, Shelby, and Hancock counties. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad cuts through the northern half of the sheet, connecting early rail stops like Julietta and Palestine with the surrounding countryside. This 1962 revision highlights the emergence of mid-century suburban pockets such as Charlemac Village, Charle Sumac Estates, and Indian Creek Estates, which began to fill in the spaces between older rural landmarks like the County Home and Township Sch. Numerous small family and community burial grounds, including Schildmeier and Freeman cemeteries, are scattered across the terrain, preserving the names of the area's nineteenth-century settlers. The drainage patterns of Buck Creek and Sugar Creek dictate the local geography, providing a baseline for the grid of country lanes like McGregor Road and Maze Road.
