1950 Map of Dunreith

About this map

The Blue River and its various tributaries, including Duck Creek and Buck Creek, carve through the rolling terrain of southern Henry County at mid-century. This survey captures a bustling intersection of Indiana transport, where the Pennsylvania line and the Chicago And ST Louis railroad converge near Dunreith. The local economy is represented by the Stone Quarry Mills situated along the river, while the social fabric of the rural landscape is anchored by a network of family and community burial grounds such as Shiloh Cem, Mason Cem, and Reddick Cem. The settlement at Spiceland serves as a primary hub for the surrounding townships, displaying a dense grid of streets and structures. The map also highlights the transition between Greensboro and Spiceland townships, providing a clear view of the regional drainage patterns and the established road system that supported the agricultural and industrial activities of the era.
