1948 Map of Coal City

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Coal City and the surrounding borderlands of Owen, Clay, and Greene Counties are defined by the legacy of early Indiana transportation and industry. The most striking historical feature is the Wabash and Erie Canal (Abandoned), which parallels the winding course of the Eel River through the center of the sheet. By the time of this survey, the canal had long since been superseded by the New York Central railroad, which served local settlements like Daggett and Hubbell. The landscape is dotted with several coal mines, reflecting the region's extraction-based economy. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for family-named landmarks including Sink Cem, Neihart Cem, and Duncan Cem, alongside rural institutions such as College Hill Sch and Bethsaida Ch.
