About this map

Argos anchors this mid-century view of the Indiana landscape, where the Norfolk and Western rail corridor intersects with a rural network of roads and drainage ditches. The map reveals the intricate engineering of the land through features like the East 16th Road Ditch and Redinger Ditch, essential for farming in Walnut, Richland, and Newcastle townships.

Evidence of earlier history remains visible in the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts diagonally across the southern half of the sheet near Tiosa. Several small community centers are documented, including the settlement of Talma near the Tippecanoe River and the rural Walnut Church. Genealogists will find numerous family and community burial sites such as Maple Grove Cemetery and Hamlett Cemetery, alongside local landmarks like the Township High School.
