About this map

Delphi serves as the central hub of this early 1960s survey, situated where Deer Creek meets the Wabash River. The landscape is defined by its deep historical layers, most notably the visible path of the Wabash and Erie Canal and segments of the Erie Canal (Abandoned) tracing the riverbanks. These 19th-century waterways are overlaid by the mid-century infrastructure of the Monon RR, which connects the town to outlying points like Harley Siding.

Beyond the municipal center, the map documents small rural settlements and essential local landmarks such as Pittsburg, Colburn, and Radnor. Genealogists will find numerous family-history touchpoints, including the Sugar Creek Cem and Delphi Cem, along with local institutions like the Hill Crest Sch and New Hope Sch. The inclusion of the County Home and various quarries provides insight into the social and industrial character of Carroll County during this era.
