1970 Map of Campbellsburg

About this map

The Monon railroad corridor defines the development of this southern Indiana landscape, connecting the primary settlements of Campbellsburg and Saltillo during the early 1970s. The terrain transitions from the concentrated rail-town grids to the winding paths of the East Fork White River in the north, where it creates the prominent Horseshoe Bend near the small community of Bono. This survey captures a rural environment deeply rooted in community landmarks, particularly evident in the distribution of country churches and family-named cemeteries such as Fishing Creek Chapel, Sugar Creek Ch, and the Talbott Cem. The inclusion of various watercourses like Carters Creek, Twin Creek, and the Lost River suggests a well-watered agricultural region, while the presence of pipelines cutting across the townships of Bono, Brown, and Vernon indicates the modernization of utility infrastructure through the forest and farmland.
