1961 Map of Edinburgh

About this map

The confluence of the Blue River and Sugar Creek forms the Driftwood River just south of Edinburgh, creating a hydrologic junction that shaped local settlement and transportation. In this mid-century view, updated with 1978 photogrammetric data, the landscape is defined by the Conrail line and the evolving Interstate highway system, which cuts through German and Jackson townships. Cultural landmarks such as the Tannehill Covered Bridge and the Tannehill Cem near the riverbanks provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in the Bartholomew and Johnson county borderlands.
