1946 Map of Depauw

About this map

The Southern railroad corridor serves as the primary industrial axis for this portion of Harrison County in the mid-1940s, connecting the settlements of Depauw and Ramsey. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Blue River along the western boundary, where the terrain breaks into the steep elevations of Devils Hollow. Away from the river, the map reveals a well-distributed network of rural social centers including Mt Tabor Ch and Hall Chapel, alongside essential local institutions like the Depauw Sch and Brushy Valley Sch. Genealogy researchers will find several family-named landmarks such as Smith Cem and Pitman Cem, which anchor the small farming communities of Frenchtown, Moberly, and Pennington within the townships of Spencer and Morgan.
