1950 Map of Huron

About this map

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor anchors this mid-century view of southern Indiana, winding through the valley of Beaver Creek and passing through the engineering landmark of Willow Tunnel. This landscape is defined by the heavy timber of the Martin State Forest, where the topography transitions from the dramatic bends of the East Fork White River, such as Devils Elbow, into a network of steep ridges and hollows. The settlement at Huron serves as a local hub, supported by outlying rural points like Willow Valley and Bonds. Scattered throughout the hills are several family-named burial grounds and schools, including Elliott Cem, Acre Cem, and the Wiesbach Sch, providing specific geographical markers for researchers looking into the mid-century footprint of the region's rural communities.
