1960 Map of Greentown

About this map

Wildcat Creek meanders through this portion of eastern Howard County, serving as the primary drainage for a landscape defined by agriculture and small crossroads settlements. This 1960 edition, with revisions through 1994, shows the growth of Greentown near the Kokomo Waterworks Res No 2 and the Eastern Sch. Small communities like Jerome, Sycamore, and West Liberty are well-defined, providing critical landmarks for genealogists and local historians. The map documents an era of infrastructure shifts, including the Howard County Airport and an Old Railroad Grade in the southwest. A high density of rural cemeteries, such as Center Grove Cem and Wheeler Cem, alongside several country churches like New Salem Ch and Howard Chapel, offers a detailed look at the social and religious fabric of the township divisions before late-20th-century consolidation.
