1958 Map of Glendale

About this map

The East Fork White River anchors the southern landscape of this Daviess County survey, winding through the townships of Jefferson, Harrison, and Reeve. This mid-century view shows a rural patchwork of small settlements and community landmarks, such as the Glendale State Fish and Game Preserve and the scattered hamlets of Glendale, Hudsonville, and Corning. Genealogy and local history researchers will find a significant distribution of pioneer-era burial sites and rural congregations, including Glencoe Cem, Ebenezer Cem, and the St Patricks Ch. The map captures a moment before significant modern development, where family-named features like Aikman Creek and Beckett still defined the local geography. Significant infrastructure of the era is noted by the Stewart Road Bridge, while the confluence of Mud Creek and the river illustrates the drainage patterns vital to the region's agricultural character.
