1970 Map of Coatesville

About this map

Coatesville and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Hendricks and Putnam Counties are documented here as they appeared in the early 1970s. The settlement of Coatesville sits centrally, bisected by the Conrail line, which also passes through the nearby village of Reno and a designated Pumping Sta. The rural character of the region is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the serpentine path of Mononchala Creek and the headwaters of Mill Creek. Local landmarks such as Canaan Ch and Bethel Ch, along with numerous small family cemeteries, provide essential reference points for those researching the genealogical and ecclesiastical history of Floyd and Marion townships. To the south, the village of Stilesville marks the lower boundary of the survey near East Fork Mill Creek, illustrating the region's enduring reliance on natural drainage and established rail corridors for its economic structure.
