About this map

Driftwood River and the Big Blue River converge south of Edinburgh, forming a landscape defined by seasonal floodplains and fertile river bottoms. This 1961 edition, updated with 1980 purple revisions, shows the expansion of residential clusters like Pleasant View Village and Northcliff alongside established agricultural townships. The presence of the Tannehill Covered Bridge and nearby Hendricks Ford highlights the historic transportation network that once relied on specific river crossings before modern infrastructure.

Industrial and public land use is prominent, with extensive Sand and Gravel Pits dotting the riverbanks and the vast Atterbury Reserve Forces Training Area occupying the western edge. Cultural landmarks like Old Union Ch and Rest Haven Cem serve as focal points for local history, while the Columbus Bakalar Municipal Airport in the south signals the post-war modernization of the region. The map also traces the Conrail rail lines, which historically supported the mills and commerce of the Blue River valley.
