1962 Map of Brookston SW
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The agricultural lands of Wabash and Tippecanoe townships are captured here during the early 1960s, a period characterized by a systematic drainage network of ditches and creeks. This 1962 field check documents several small crossroads communities including Badger Grove, Cairo, and the distinctively named Octagon. The landscape is largely defined by its rural infrastructure, featuring a regular grid of roads like 850 North Road and Brown Road that separate vast tracts of farmland. A notable insight from this survey is the reliance on named drainage systems, such as Myers Ditch and Cole Ditch, which underscore the effort to manage the local hydrology for cultivation. Local heritage is preserved through markers like the Cairo Cemetery, Liberty Chapel, and the Archibald Memorial Home, providing a detailed view of the social fabric in this part of northern Indiana before major modern suburban expansion.
