About this map

Bedford serves as the industrial and civic anchor of this mid-century Lawrence County landscape, where the limestone heritage of southern Indiana is evidenced by numerous quarries dotting the terrain. The city is a hub of transit and infrastructure, featuring the Dunn Memorial Hospital, Bedford Municipal Airport, and a dense network of education and religion, including St Vincent De Paul Sch and several public institutions. The rural surroundings in Shawswick and Guthrie townships reveal a more dispersed settlement pattern, with family cemeteries like Sheeks Cem and Erwin Cem and small communities such as Buddha and Rivervale. The winding course of the South Fork White River dictates the topography of the southern portion of the quadrangle, flanked by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Monon line, reflecting a period when rail transport was still vital to the local quarrying and agricultural economy.
