1958 Map of Bedford East

About this map

White River East Fork meanders through the southern half of this 1958 survey, defining the industrial and agricultural landscape of Lawrence County. The city of Bedford serves as the regional hub in the northwest, showing a dense grid of streets, schools like Madden Sch and Stalker Sch, and the central Courthouse. Transportation is dominated by the intersecting routes of the Chicago Indianapolis and Louisville (Monon) and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods and stone from local Quarry sites. Smaller rural settlements such as Buddha, Yockey, and Rabbitville dot the outlying townships of Shawswick and Guthrie. Notable landmarks including the Bedford Municipal Airport and the Otis Park Golf Course suggest a growing mid-century community balancing traditional industry with modern civic recreation.
