1961 Map of Anderson South

About this map

The White River and the Conrail rail lines anchor this detailed study of the industrial and residential core of Anderson during its mid-century growth. The map documents the city's southward expansion into Fall Creek and Adams townships, showing established neighborhoods like Edgewood and River Forest alongside the sprawling Mounds State Park. Educational and civic development is well-represented, from the Anderson College campus to numerous local institutions such as Madison Heights High Sch and Anderson High Sch. A high density of cemeteries, including Maplewood Cemetery and the Anderson Memorial Park, provides valuable data for genealogists. The southern portion of the sheet transitions to a more agrarian landscape, punctuated by smaller communities like Pendleton and Huntsville, where Fall Creek winds through the terrain near the Grovelawn Cem.
