About this map

White River valley dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, winding through Salem and Mount Pleasant townships. The mapping reveals a rural infrastructure defined by the grid of numeric county roads and the paths of the Chesapeake and Ohio RR. Small communities like Moonville and Gilman are shown at their 1960s extent, while the Vermillion Meetinghouse and Pikes Peak Ch serve as local landmarks for genealogists and local historians.

Waterways like Killbuck Creek and Vermillion Creek cut through the farmland, accompanied by family-named cemeteries such as Jones Cem and Heagy Cem. The inclusion of various gas wells and a large Gravel Pit near the river indicates the local extractive industry of the mid-20th century. This survey documents the transition of the Indiana countryside before later suburban expansion, preserving the locations of rural stops like Reed Station and Cammack.
