1960 Map of Fulton

About this map

The town of Fulton serves as a hub for this rural Indiana landscape, which is marked by a complex network of agricultural drainage ditches that reveal the intensive efforts to reclaim the wetlands of Liberty and Wayne Townships. The Erie Railroad cuts diagonally through the northeast, passing through Fulton where several family and community landmarks are gathered, including Fulton Cem. Further west and south, smaller settlements like Marshtown and Fletcher appear alongside distinctive water bodies such as Fletcher Lake. The map is particularly rich in family-named infrastructure, with dozens of identified ditches like the Callahan Ditch and Sylvester Maroney Ditch illustrating the localized management of the watershed. Rural life is further anchored by neighborhood institutions such as Olive Branch Ch and several small burial grounds like Smalley Cem and Reed Cem.
