1934 Map of Bedford

Tracing the path of the White River through the southern half of the sheet, the landscape transitions from the urbanized center of Bedford to rural townships like Shawswick and Guthrie. Dozens of local landmarks for genealogists are scattered across the terrain, from the Sherrill Cem and Faubion Cem to rural schoolhouses like Hickory Grove Sch and Dennison Sch. The winding Guthrie Creek and the steep elevation of Devils Backbone illustrate the complex geography of the area before modern development altered these rural corridors.
