About this map

Taylor University and the Purdue University Memorial Farm anchor this agricultural landscape during the 1960s, where the rural communities of Upland and Matthews sit at the intersection of rail lines and waterways. The Mississinewa River winds through the southern reaches, featuring a notable Covered Bridge near the Matthews town site. This survey highlights the institutional character of the era, from the County Infirmary to local rural schools like Parkside Sch and Township Sch.
