1972 Map of Connersville

About this map

Connersville serves as the industrial and civic anchor of this East Central Indiana landscape, situated along the Whitewater River. The city is defined by its extensive rail infrastructure, where the Penn Central, Norfolk and Western, and Baltimore and Ohio railroads converge. This transit network supported a dense residential and municipal core, featuring landmarks like the Courthouse, City Hall, and several neighborhood schools including Maplewood Sch and Grandview Sch. To the north and west, the terrain transitions into a grid of rural roads and farmsteads, punctuated by small community centers like Bentonville and Harrisburg. Waterways such as Williams Creek and Lick Creek cut through the countryside, while the presence of the Canal near Beesons reflects the area's earlier 19th-century transport legacy. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Little Creek Cem and Martin Cem, provide significant touchpoints for local genealogical research.
