1969 Map of Andrews

About this map

Andrews sits at the northern edge of this landscape, positioned along the Norfolk and Western rail corridor and the broad valley of the Wabash River. The terrain transitions from the industrial and transport hub in the north to the extensive waters of Salamonie Lake in the south, a reservoir that reshaped the local geography. The map reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, including Township Sch and numerous faith-based landmarks such as Pleasant Grove Ch and Pilcher Chapel. Of particular interest to genealogists are the dispersed burial grounds like Riverside Cem and the German Settlement Cem, which point to the diverse heritage of the early settlers in Dallas and Lancaster townships. The southern reaches are defined by the Salamonie River as it winds through Heineys Bend, past the Mount Etna Public Use Area and the small settlement of Mt Etna.
