1948 Map of Edinburg

About this map

Edinburg serves as the focal point of this postwar Indiana landscape, situated at the confluence where the Blue River and Sugar Cr join to form the Driftwood River. The town sits as a busy rail and river hub, with the Pennsylvania RR cutting a straight line south toward Taylorsville. To the west, the massive footprint of the Camp Atterbury Military Reservation dominates the terrain, including the Camp Atterbury Army Airfield with its distinct runway layout and Airway Beacon. The map captures a transition in local infrastructure, showing the old Tannehill Bridge and numerous family burial grounds like Steenbarger Cem and Tannehill Cem that predate the mid-century expansion of the military facility. Rural life is anchored by country churches, including Old Bethel Ch and New Hope Ch, which stand alongside long-established routes like Old Bethel Road and Wallace Road.
