1962 Map of Bargersville

About this map

Bargersville and its predecessor, Old Bargersville, anchor the southeastern portion of this Johnson County landscape, illustrating the migration of local centers toward newer transportation corridors. The map records a transition from rural farmsteads to emerging suburban patterns, particularly around Smith Valley and the Center Grove High Sch. Small, established hamlets such as Stones Crossing, Kinder, and Banta dot the central and western sections, many defined by their proximity to local watercourses like Honey Creek and Turkey Run. Numerous family-named burial grounds, including the Henderson Cem, Mallow Cem, and McColgin Cem, provide significant genealogical markers for the area. The western edge is defined by the White River and the prominent rising terrain of The Bluffs, while the eastern portion shows the steady drainage network of Youngs Creek and the Alexander Ditch.
