1960 Map of College Corner

About this map

College Corner straddles the Indiana-Ohio state line, serving as a focal point for this 1960 survey of a agricultural landscape where rail lines and local pikes dictate the geography of growth. The Baltimore and Ohio and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads intersect in the north, connecting smaller hamlets like Cottage Grove and Charlottesville to the larger regional network. The inclusion of the State Line Principal Meridian and multiple county boundaries, including those for Union, Franklin, and Butler, highlights the map's value for jurisdictional and genealogical research.
