1960 Map of Cambridge City

About this map

Cambridge City serves as a central hub on this 1960s-era landscape, where the Whitewater River and the National Road intersect a network of established Indiana rail lines. The settlement pattern shows a high density of civic and religious institutions, including Locust Grove Ch, Zion Ch, and numerous cemeteries such as Riverside Cem and Friends Cem. The influence of the transportation corridor is evident in the alignment of towns like Dublin, Mount Auburn, and East Germantown, which were well-established before the mid-century period of photorevision. Educational facilities like Lincoln High Sch and Crietz Park Sch are positioned among residential blocks, while the outlying areas maintain a rural character defined by agricultural fields and watercourses like Symonds Creek and Martindale Creek. This survey captures the transition from traditional rail-based commerce to the expanding highway system, while preserving the location of early schools and family-named landmarks.
