1959 Map of Adams

About this map

The Flatrock River and Little Flatrock River carve through the agricultural landscape of south-central Indiana, where the borders of Rush County and Decatur County meet. This mid-century landscape is defined by the historic Michigan Road and the New York Central railroad, which serve as the primary transit corridors for rural communities. Small settlements like Saint Paul, Saint Omer, and Moscow are spaced along these routes, supported by local industry such as a Quarry and Gravel Pit. The map is particularly rich in genealogical landmarks, including Mt Hebron Cem, Arnold Cem, and the Union Chapel near Duck Creek. Further south, the town of Adams sits near the winding course of Clifty Creek, while the YMCA Camp indicates the area's recreational use along the river bluffs.
