1944 Map of Glendale

About this map

The East Fork White River carves a winding path along the southern boundary of this 1940s landscape, marking the transition between Daviess, Pike, and Dubois counties. Local commerce and community life center on small crossroads like Glendale and Hudsonville, while the presence of a Coal Mine near High Rock points to the region's extractive history. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage including Aikman Creek, Sugar Creek, and Mud Creek, which dictates the placement of rural infrastructure like the Straight Road Bridge. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the scattered rural institutions that define this era, from churches like East Union Ch and Ebenezer Ch to the Glencoe Cem and Corning Sch, all connected by early thoroughfares like Montgomery Road.
