1960 Map of Gilman

About this map

The White River valley south of Muncie defines the landscape of this mid-century survey, where the river winds through Salem and Mount Pleasant townships. Early spiritual life in the area is anchored by several rural congregations, including the Vermillion Meetinghouse and the Pleasant Run Ch, while local burial sites like the Moonville Cem and Hawk Cem provide valuable records for genealogists. Small rural hubs such as Gilman, Moonville, and Reed Station are connected by a grid of numbered roads and specialized paths like Bethel Road. The drainage patterns of Killbuck Creek and York Prairie Creek reveal the agricultural character of the territory during this period. Researchers can also trace the early industrial footprint of the region through several Gas Wells and a Gravel Pit located near the southern boundary in Daleville.
