1960 Map of Grass Creek

About this map

Grass Creek serves as a central hub in this Indiana landscape, where the Pennsylvania railroad line cuts a straight path through the agricultural terrain of Wayne and Harrison townships. The map reveals an intricate network of drainage systems essential to the region's farming, including the Gillespie Ditch and Weasner Ditch. This 1960 field check captures the area at a time when local history was preserved in numerous small burial grounds and rural congregations, such as the West Union Ch and Victor Chapel Cem. The intersection of the Principal Meridian and the Cass and Fulton county lines provides a rigid geometric framework to the natural wanderings of Indian Creek and Mill Creek. This survey offers genealogists a detailed look at family-named landmarks like O'Brien Lake and St Anns Cem.
