About this map

Coatesville serves as the central hub of this 1970 survey, situated along the Penn Central rail line at the border of Putnam and Hendricks counties. The surrounding landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of several prominent drainage systems, including Clear Creek, Miller Creek, and the East Fork Mill Creek. The town of Stilesville anchors the southeastern corner along the historic National Road, which remains a primary transit corridor for the region.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites and rural congregations, such as Canaan Ch Cem, Clear Cr Cem, and Bethel Ch. Economic activity in the area is reflected in features like the Pumping Sta near Reno and a Quarry located in Marion township. This document provides a clear view of the mid-century rural infrastructure, including a network of named country routes like 500 North Road and the early utility paths marked by Pipeline and Telephone Line labels.
