1958 Map of Grabill
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The St Joseph River and Maumee River define the agricultural landscape of northeastern Indiana in the late 1950s. Centered on the town of Grabill, this survey documents a period when rural life revolved around established crossroads like Harlan and small hamlets such as Milan Center. The industrial and transport history of the region is evident in the path of the Wabash RR and the remnants of the Erie Canal near the Maumee. Infrastructure of the era is marked by the Cedarville Reservoir and its Spillway, while numerous family-named ditches like Boser Ditch and Spencerville Ditch illustrate the extensive drainage network required for the local farms. Genealogists will find several burial sites including Yaggy Cem, Memorial Cem, and Barnett Cem, alongside landmarks such as Salem Com Ch and the Zion Sch.
