1962 Map of Buffalo

About this map

The Tippecanoe River meanders through the heart of this Indiana landscape, defining the character of the borderlands between Pulaski and White Counties. In the early 1960s, the area was a patchwork of agricultural townships including Jefferson, Monroe, Beaver, and Liberty. Small rural hubs like Buffalo, Pulaski, and Headlee served as local centers of gravity, connected by a network of drainage infrastructure like the Wallace Stout Ditch and Ackerman Ditch, which converted the natural marshlands into productive farmland.
