1954 Map of Crandall

About this map

The Southern railroad corridor anchors this mid-century survey of the Harrison and Floyd County borderlands, linking the rural hubs of Crandall and Corydon Junction. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Indian Creek, which carves deep valleys through the limestone terrain, influencing the placement of early homesteads and farm roads. Historically significant sites for genealogists include numerous denominational landmarks such as Old German Ch, St Michael Ch, and St Paulus Ch, alongside family burial grounds like Sappenfield Cem and Conrad Cem. Small crossroad settlements like Byrneville and Central Barren illustrate the traditional agrarian layout of southern Indiana before modern expansion. This documentation captures the area's transition, showing the High Sch at New Salisbury and the industrial utility of the Gaging Sta along the creek.
