1962 Map of Clymers

About this map

The Wabash River and its accompanying Wabash and Erie Canal carve through the northern landscape of this region, shaping the development of the city of Logansport. This 1960s survey captures the intersection of heavy industry and institutional infrastructure, featuring the sprawling Longcliff Hospital complex and the Logansport Municipal Airport. Transport networks are prominently detailed, with the Wabash and Pennsylvania railroad lines intersecting near the small community of Clymers. Further south, the terrain transitions into a grid of agricultural land and drainage systems like the Slusser Ditch and Martin DITCH, punctuated by rural landmarks such as Mt Pisgah Ch and Rock Creek Cem. The map provides a look at the historical boundaries between Jefferson and Clinton townships during a period of mid-century growth.
