1962 Map of Bargersville

About this map

The Illinois Central Railroad anchors the eastern Johnson County landscape, connecting the agricultural crossroads of Bargersville and Old Bargersville to the surrounding rural townships. The 1960s terrain is defined by a dense network of small streams like Honey Creek and Mallow Run that drain toward the White River in the northwest. This era shows the transition from a traditional farming community toward suburban growth, evidenced by the Center Grove High School and the Drive-in Theater near McCarty.
