1960 Map of Gas City

About this map

The Mississinewa River winds through this central Indiana landscape, anchoring the neighboring industrial and residential centers of Gas City and Jonesboro. This 1960 era survey, with revisions noted through the early 1980s, illustrates the established grid of Gas City, from Main Street to the numbered avenues, and the prominent municipal City Hall. The surrounding townships of Mill, Monroe, and Jefferson are characterized by a dense network of drainage features like Barren Ditch and Fowlerton Drain, which supported the region's agricultural transition. Further east, the village of Upland is visible, while smaller settlements like Fowlerton and Matthews occupy the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Local history is preserved in the placement of Riverside Cem and rural landmarks such as Harmony Ch and Jefferson Ch, which served these dispersed farming communities before modern consolidation.
