1960 Map of Henryville

About this map

The sprawling woodlands of Clark State Forest dominate this landscape during the mid-twentieth century, showcasing a transition between protected natural areas and established Southern Indiana communities. The town of Henryville sits as a primary hub along the eastern edge of the forest, anchored by the Pennsylvania Railroad and surrounded by a dense network of creek systems including Miller Fork and Silver Creek. The map documents a significant research and educational presence at the Purdue University Forestry Camp, while numerous knobs like Oak Knob and Pine Knob define the area's elevation changes.
