1962 Map of Burrows

About this map

The Wabash River carves a deep valley through Carroll and Cass Counties, defining the landscape and settlement patterns of the early 1960s. Along the river’s northern bank, the historic Towpath follows the waterway through Lockport, a key point of interest for those tracing old transportation routes. The area is anchored by the rural hubs of Burrows and Rockfield, where the Wabash Railroad and Pennsylvania Railroad provided vital industrial links to the surrounding agricultural plains. This survey provides a look at the local geography before major modern changes, noting small community landmarks like the Township Sch and Pleasant Hill Ch. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous small burial grounds, including the IOOF Cem and the uniquely named Seceder Cem.
