1956 Map of Albion

About this map

Albion serves as a central hub in this mid-century portrait of Noble County, Indiana. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the New York Central System and Baltimore and Ohio railroads, which facilitated movement through small settlements like Wawaka, Brimfield, and Rome City. To the north, the Elkhart River and its South Branch weave through a terrain marked by numerous glacial lakes, including Waldron Lake and Skinner Lake. This period of development shows a community anchored by local institutions such as the Albion-Jefferson Township School and the County 4H Park. The map provides detailed locations for family historians, noting several burial grounds including Rose Hill Cemetery, Orange Cemetery, and Wright Cemetery, alongside outlying landmarks like Dukes Bridge and the York Center School.
