1960 Map of Greentown

About this map

Wildcat Creek meanders through the heart of this Indiana agricultural landscape, defining the character of eastern Howard County and northern Tipton County. The hub of activity centers on Greentown, where the Eastern Sch and a network of local roads like Pickering Road anchor the community. To the west, the Kokomo Waterworks Res No 2 and the Howard County Airport reflect mid-century infrastructure developments. Small rural settlements and crossroads such as Jerome, West Liberty, and Phlox are connected by an extensive system of drainage canals, including Roberts Ditch and Legg Ditch, which were essential for managing the fertile plains. The map also captures several points of genealogical interest, from the Union Civil Cem near the creek to the Howard Chapel and Salem Cem in the southern reaches.
