1966 Map of English

About this map

The town of English serves as the hub of this mid-century Crawford County landscape, where the Southern railroad line follows the valley of Fork Spring Creek. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Little Blue River, which carves through the protected lands of the Hoosier National Forest and Harrison-Crawford State Forest. Small rural communities and intersections like Switzer Crossroads and Centerville anchor the southern portion of the map, while family-named landmarks and local worship centers such as Mathew Chapel and Temple Chapel are scattered throughout the northern hills. Along the river, features like Grant Lake and Seton Knob mark the complex topography of the region. This 1966 revision provides a clear record of the area's transition, showing the intersection of local industry and public forest lands before later development altered the rural character of these Southern Indiana townships.
