1953 Map of Clayton

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Mill Creek and its various forks carve through the agricultural landscape of Hendricks County, defining the drainage patterns for settlements like Amo and Clayton. The mid-century transportation network is a dominant feature, showing the Pennsylvania railroad line running parallel to the older National Road, while a Telephone Cable corridor cuts a straight path across the townships. This 1953 survey captures the rural character of central Indiana just as modern infrastructure began to leave more prominent marks on the land, evidenced by the Drive-in Theater situated along the main highway.
