1952 Map of Catlin

About this map

Bridgeton and its surrounding countryside reflect a mid-century Indiana landscape defined by its waterways and small rural communities. The winding course of Raccoon Creek and Little Raccoon Creek anchors the region, while the Pennsylvania railroad corridor connects the village of Catlin to the broader industrial network. Local life is documented through numerous community landmarks, including the High Sch and Clear Run Cem in Bridgeton, as well as several country churches such as New Discovery Ch and Mt Olivet Ch. Significant industrial activity is evident at the Strip Mine near Minshall and a nearby Gravel Pit. Notable infrastructure from the era includes the Jeffries Ford Bridge and a Pumping Sta (Abandoned) located south of Catlin. The map provides a detailed view of family-named cemeteries like Hartmans Cem and Hatfield Cem, which are vital markers for local genealogy and history.
