1960 Map of Anderson North

About this map

Alexandria and northern Anderson anchor this mid-century look at the Madison County agricultural and suburban landscape. The era's transportation network is defined by a grid of numbered section roads, such as 1000 North Road, and the prominent Old R R Grade tracing a path through the Monroe and Lafayette townships. The map records the local social fabric through numerous rural institutions, including Wesley Chapel Cem and College Corner Sch. In the southern portion, the urban expansion of North Anderson and Forest Hills is evident, while the U S Naval Reserve Training Center stands as a notable civic landmark. Waterways like Pipe Creek and Killbuck Creek weave through the township boundaries, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped early settlement in these central Indiana communities.
