1957 Map of Fithian

About this map

The Vermilion River and the Salt Fork dominate the eastern and southern reaches of this landscape, carving deep bends like Horseshoe Bend into the otherwise level terrain. The central corridor is a hub of mid-century activity along the New York Central System, connecting small rural centers like Fithian, Muncie, and Oakwood. To the east, the rugged topography of Kickapoo State Park stands in contrast to the surrounding farmland, reflecting a transition into the mining and recreation areas near Missionfield and Belgium Row.
