1957 Map of Campbellsburg

About this map

The Monon railroad corridor defines the development of this southern Indiana landscape, connecting the clustered settlements of Campbellsburg, Saltillo, and Leipsic. This mid-century survey shows a region deeply rooted in its rural institutions, with local life centered around several country churches such as Sugar Creek Ch and Carters Creek Ch. To the north, the terrain is shaped by the dramatic Horseshoe Bend of the East Fork White River, while the southern portion is marked by the winding courses of Carters Creek and the Lost River. The map provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the era, including schools like Lee Sch and Fairview Sch, and several community burial grounds including Talbott Cem and Freedom Cem. The presence of numerous bench marks and established township boundaries like Guthrie and Vernon underscores the systematic organization of this agricultural and transit-oriented landscape.
