About this map

The town of Bourbon serves as a primary hub in this Marshall County landscape, where the local Fairgrounds and various civic landmarks reflect the agricultural and community focus of the late 1950s. The town's layout is centered around the intersection of historical transport routes like the Lincoln Highway, which connects it southeast toward Etna Green. This neighboring settlement in Kosciusko County is home to the Township Sch and the Etna Green Cem, markers of local heritage situated along the rail lines.

Rural life is further defined by a dense network of country churches and burial grounds, including Millwood Chapel, Foster Chapel, and Odd Fellows Cem. The southern edge of the map is dominated by the winding path of the Tippecanoe River in Harrison Township. A complex drainage system consisting of features like Dausman Ditch and Danner Ditch illustrates the engineered efforts to manage the low-lying terrain for farming.
