1962 Map of Argos

About this map

The New York Chicago and St Louis railroad corridor anchors this mid-century view of Northern Indiana, cutting a diagonal path through the landscape toward the town of Argos. This era shows a well-organized rural grid defined by roads like East 17th Road and Elm Rd, punctuated by small community centers such as Tiosa and Walnut. A significant historical landmark, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, bisects the southern half of the map, marking an earlier era of land division that still influenced property lines and township borders between Richland and Newcastle. Along the meandering Tippecanoe River in the southeast corner, the settlement of Talma sits near the Township High Sch, while family history is preserved in scattered burial grounds like Maple Grove Cem and Reister Cem.
