1961 Map of Hazelrigg

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices diagonally across this Boone County landscape, a permanent mark of early frontier history amidst a grid of rural farmland. Centered on the small settlement of Hazelrigg, the map reveals a mid-century agricultural community connected by the Conrail rail line and the waters of Sugar Creek. To the northwest, Thorntown serves as a primary hub, featuring Maple Lawn Cem and the local High Sch. The distribution of rural landmarks, such as Pleasant View Ch and New Salem Ch, illustrates the scattered yet organized social structure of Washington, Jefferson, and Center townships. Notable family and community sites like Norman Lake and the Hazel College area provide specific points of interest for those tracing local lineages or historical land use patterns in this part of Indiana.
