1960 Map of Fairfield

About this map

The East Fork Whitewater River carves a deep valley through this agricultural landscape on the Indiana-Ohio border, defining the settlement patterns of Union and Franklin counties. The river corridor is a focal point of local infrastructure, featuring a Covered Bridge near Fairfield and the expansive Whitewater State Park Lake to the north. These water-driven landscapes contrast with the rigid grid of the surrounding uplands, where roads like Velocipede Pike and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad connect dispersed hamlets.
