1949 Map of Henryville

About this map

Clark State Forest dominates the western half of this Indiana landscape, where the ridges of the Bartle Knobs and peaks like Rock Knob and Round Knob break the terrain. In the post-war era, the settlement of Henryville sits at the junction of several regional roads and the Pennsylvania railroad line, serving as a gateway to the local timberlands. The map documents an important intersection of conservation and education, shown by the Purdue University Forestry Camp situated near Schlamm Lake.
