1942 Map of Columbus
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Camp Atterbury dominates the western edge of this 1942 survey, reflecting the rapid military mobilization of the era as the United States entered World War II. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several major waterways, including the Driftwood River, Blue River, and the East Fork White River, which meet near the regional hub of Columbus. This hydrological network supported a dense arrangement of small agricultural settlements and post offices such as Milford (Clifty P O) and St Louis Crossing.
