1961 Map of Anderson South

About this map

The industrial and collegiate character of Anderson is established here along the banks of the White River. The city’s core, anchored by the Courthouse and Anderson College, is surrounded by a ring of post-war residential growth in neighborhoods like Meadowbrook, Glyn Ellen, and Edgewood. The map captures the significant transport infrastructure of the era, where the New York Central and Pennsylvania railroads intersect the city's grid. To the east, Mounds State Park preserves the river’s natural course and ancient earthworks just beyond the suburban reach.
