1960 Map of Fairfield

About this map

Whitewater State Park anchors the northern landscape of this Union County region, where the Whitewater Lake reservoir meets the winding East Fork Whitewater River. The 1960 revision captures a rural network of small settlements and family burial grounds, such as Old Bath Springs Cem and Fryer Cem, illustrating the deep-rooted community history of southeastern Indiana. Evidence of early infrastructure remains visible, most notably the Covered Bridge near Dunlapsville and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad corridor passing through Lotus. Local industry and transit are further defined by a Gravel Pit and a prominent pipeline cutting across Harmony township. This topographic record preserves the layout of towns like Fairfield and Quakertown alongside numerous named drainage runs and creeks, reflecting the complex hydrology and agricultural organization of the mid-20th century.
