1950 Map of Beechwood

About this map

The Little Blue River carves a winding path through the heart of this mid-century Indiana landscape, eventually joining the mighty Ohio River at the southern boundary. This terrain, heavily wooded and protected within the Hoosier National Forest and Harrison County State Forest, reveals a rural community structured around small schools and country churches. The distribution of features like Jericho Sch and Myers Sch alongside Harvey Union Ch suggests a sparsely populated region where social life was anchored by these local institutions.
