1961 Map of Anderson South

About this map

Anderson expands southward in this early 1960s survey, showing a landscape transitioning from the urban core to the rural reaches of Madison County. The White River and Fall Creek anchor the hydrology, while the Pennsylvania RR and New York Central RR corridors reflect the region's industrial backbone. Residential growth is evident in several suburban clusters like Woodlawn Heights, Edgewood, and Meadowbrook. Genealogists and historians will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds, including the large Maplewood Cemetery and Anderson Memorial Park, as well as smaller rural sites like Pleasant Walk Cem. The map also details the early operations of Anderson Airport and the recreational grounds of Mounds State Park, capturing the mid-century infrastructure before modern highway developments.
