1958 Map of Bourbon

About this map

The town of Bourbon serves as a focal point for this late-1950s landscape, where a dense grid of section-line roads connects the agricultural interior of Marshall and Kosciusko Counties. To the southeast, Etna Green sits along the Pennsylvania Highway corridor, reflecting the importance of the railroad for these small Indiana communities. The geography is defined by a sophisticated network of drainage systems, such as Dausman Ditch, designed to manage the high water table of this fertile region, eventually feeding south toward the Tippecanoe River.
