1953 Map of Brownsburg
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Brownsburg and Pittsboro anchor the northern landscape of this mid-century Hendricks County survey, during a period when the agricultural character of central Indiana remained largely intact. The New York Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads provide the primary transit corridors, cutting through the townships of Lincoln, Brown, and Middle. The drainage pattern is dominated by the West Fork Whitelick River and Whitelick Creek, which carve distinct valleys through the surrounding farmland. Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, including the St Malachys West Cem near Pittsboro and the McDaniels Cem closer to the city center. In the south, the early development of Avon is visible alongside smaller residential areas like Lake Forest and Lake View, while the Brownsburg Airfield serves as a notable aeronautical landmark on the eastern edge of the quadrangle.
