1954 Map of Crandall

About this map

Indian Creek and its many tributaries, including Corn Creek and Crandall Branch, carve through the rural landscape of Harrison and Floyd Counties. This area in the mid-20th century remains defined by small agricultural settlements and a network of country churches such as St Michael Ch and Zoar Ch. The Southern Railway corridor plays a significant role in the local geography, anchoring communities like Crandall and Corydon Junction. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the townships, ranging from the uniquely named Whiskey Cem to family and church grounds like Sappenfield Cem and Conrad Cem. The map provides a look at the transition between established villages like New Salisbury and the quieter hamlets of Mott Station and Hursttown as they appeared before later development altered the rural character of the region.
