1964 Map of Darrow

About this map

Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific rail lines anchor the small settlements of Darrow and Cutmer in this mid-1960s survey of the Illinois-Indiana border. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water management features and agricultural infrastructure, where natural drainage like Coon Creek and Mud Creek meets engineered solutions such as the colorfully named Possum Trot Ditch and Salmon Ditch. This era shows the region's rural character preserved through its landmarks, including the Disosway Airstrip and several local burial grounds.
