1961 Map of Daylight

About this map

Pigeon Creek and its complex network of drainage ditches define the agricultural lowlands of the Vanderburgh and Warrick County line during the early 1960s. The landscape is a mix of high-ground timber near Little Ditney Hill and the established rural settlements of Daylight, Fisherville, and Millersburg. Historically significant infrastructure remains visible, most notably the path of the Wabash and Erie Canal in the northeast and the intersection of the New York Central and Southern Railroad lines that facilitated the local economy. Small-scale rural life is anchored by family-named sites and religious centers like Cent St Johns Ch and Asbury Cem. The presence of Camp Bell and a prominent Radio Tower reflect mid-century land use amidst the steady transition toward more developed communities like Chandler.
