1955 Map of Harrison

About this map

The Whitewater River and its major tributary, the Dry Fork Whitewater River, dominate this mid-century landscape straddling the Ohio-Indiana border. The settlement of Harrison and its neighbor West Harrison serve as the primary hubs, where the New York Central River rail line parallels the water's path. The map captures a well-established rural infrastructure of family and community landmarks, including the Township Sch, St Joseph church, and several burial grounds such as Fairview Cem and Braysville Cem.
