1958 Map of Grammer

About this map

Grammer and Sardinia anchor this mid-century look at the rural landscape where Bartholomew, Decatur, and Jennings counties meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including Sand Creek and the meandering Clifty Creek, which shaped the early development of small communities like Burnsville and Alert. The map reveals the infrastructure of an earlier era, specifically the Old Railroad corridor passing near the Township Sch. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Mt Pisgah Cem, Asbury Cem, and Mt Pleasant Cem, which are scattered throughout the agricultural tracts. This 1950s survey, later updated with 1980s aerial data, preserves the locations of local landmarks like the Shirk Cem and early Gas Well sites that have since been modified by modern land use.
