1956 Map of Eminence

About this map

Mill Creek meanders through the heart of this Indiana landscape where Putnam, Morgan, and Hendricks counties meet. In the mid-1950s, the rural character of the region is defined by a dense network of family cemeteries and country churches, including the Walnut Chapel and Union Valley Ch. The National Road cuts across the northern reaches near Broad Park, serving as a primary corridor for travel and commerce. Local education is centered at the Eminence Consolidated Sch in the town of Eminence, which anchors the southeast corner of the map. The distribution of small settlements like Belle Union and Little Point, alongside numerous burial grounds such as the Broadstreet Cem and Whitaker-Patrick Cem, provides a detailed view of the mid-century social fabric and genealogical history of these central Indiana townships.
