1952 Map of Fountaintown
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
Fountaintown and Finly anchor this central Indiana landscape as it appeared in the early 1950s, defined by the steady transit of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The mapping reveals a rural social infrastructure centered on country churches and schools, such as the Brandywine Twp Sch No 1 and Little Sugar Creek Ch. The geography is intricately carved by an extensive drainage network, including Sugar Cr, Brandywine Creek, and numerous named ditches like Powers Ditch and Buck Ditch, which supported the region's agricultural productivity. Local history researchers will find significant genealogical value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds like Pelham Cem, Lisher Cem, and Ellis Cem, often situated near small crossroads like Fairview and Sexton. This survey documents the transition from steam-era rail stops like Reedville Sta to a modernizing road grid including 1100 N Rd and 800 N Rd.
