1972 Map of Bippus

About this map

The Wabash River and Little River converge in the southeastern corner of this map, framing the developing northern edge of Huntington. This 1970s record shows a landscape of agricultural drainage and early suburban growth, where long-standing rural hubs like Bippus and Goblesville are connected by a network of gridded roads such as 1000 North Road. The path of the Erie-Lackawanna railroad cuts diagonally across the townships of Warren and Clear Creek, serving as a primary corridor through the central farmland. Notable religious and community sites include the St. Felix Friary and several small country burial grounds like Maple Grove Cem. Evidence of local industry and education appears through scattered gravel pits and the presence of the Huntington North High School, reflecting a period of modernization as the county seat expanded northward.
