1956 Map of Fort Wayne East

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The St Joseph River and Maumee River converge in this mid-century survey of the eastern expansion of Fort Wayne. The landscape is a mix of dense residential blocks and emerging industrial facilities, including the sprawling Mc Millen Park and the specialized grounds of the Indiana Technical College. Institutional landmarks like the Veterans Hospital and Parkview Mem Hospital anchor the northern suburban reach, while the southern landscape near Trier Ditch remains largely agricultural with family-named infrastructure like Bullerman Ditch. The dominance of the rail industry is evident in the junction of the New York Chicago and St Louis, Wabash RR, and Pennsylvania RR lines that cut through the heart of New Haven. Small community centers such as Martini Ch and St Peter Sch provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local families in Adams and St Joseph townships.
