About this map

Industrial expansion and military utility define the landscape of southern Indiana during the early Cold War era. The prominent U S Military Reservation Indiana Arsenal dominates the eastern portion of the map, illustrating the significant federal footprint in the region. This installation, alongside the Clark Military Grant boundaries, highlights a region shaped by strategic land use and large-scale government presence. Meanwhile, the town of Charlestown serves as a central hub, connected to the wider world by the Baltimore and Ohio RR and Pennsylvania RR.
