1950 Map of Brazil East

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Strip Mines dominate the topography of this Clay County region at the start of the 1950s, illustrating the heavy industrial footprint of coal extraction on the Indiana landscape. The city of Brazil serves as the primary hub, with the National Road and the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads creating a dense corridor of transportation and commerce through Harmony and Knightsville. This infrastructure supported a diverse economy beyond mining, evidenced by the cluster of Kilns near Carbon and the Granary in the county seat.
