1974 Map of Carmi
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The Little Wabash River meanders past the seat of White County in the mid-1970s, where the convergence of the Louisville and Nashville and Penn Central railroads once anchored the local economy. Beyond the street grid of Carmi, the landscape transitions into the productive Heralds Prairie, a region defined by agricultural plots and active petroleum extraction. Numerous oil operations, including the Carmi Oil Field and the Roland Oil Field, are marked alongside a network of rural churches and cemeteries. Historical research is supported by the identification of localized sites such as Bingman Station, St Polycarp Cem, and the Brownsville Sch. The presence of several distinct burial grounds, from The Old Graveyard to Sumpter Cem, provides a detailed record of the community's early settlement patterns and family heritage.
