1953 Map of Fayette

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Agricultural life in southern Boone County during the early 1950s is defined by a dense network of small family cemeteries and country churches situated along the tributaries of the White Lick River. The map illustrates the transition from rural townships like Worth and Harrison toward the Hendricks County line, where the Pennsylvania railroad cuts diagonally across the landscape. Notable local landmarks include the Central Sch and several remote church congregations such as Concord Ch and Cynthiana Ch. The drainage patterns, including the Main Edlin Ditch and Fishback Creek, highlight the era's reliance on managed waterways to support the surrounding farmland. Small rural hubs like Milledgeville and Shepherd appear as they were before modern suburban expansion, providing a detailed look at mid-century Indiana homesteads.
