1958 Map of Covington

About this map

The Covington townsite anchors the southeastern corner of this mid-century survey, where the New York Central Railroad meets the banks of the Wabash River. The landscape reveals a complex history of transit, evidenced by several stretches of Old Railroad Grade and an Abandoned line cutting through the rural terrain of Mound and Steuben townships. To the northwest, the small settlements of Marshfield and Johnsonville sit among a network of creeks like Opossum Run and Chesapeake Creek. Local heritage is preserved in several family and community burial grounds, including Baltimore Cem, Rogers Cem, and Upper Mound Cem. Religious life is marked by centers like Galloway Chapel and the Hanging Rock Christian Assembly, reflecting the area's established social fabric between the river and the rail lines.
