USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The White River and Wabash River define the industrial and agricultural landscape of Central Indiana and Eastern Illinois in this mid-century survey. Indianapolis serves as the central hub, surrounded by growing suburbs like Zionsville, Carmel, and Greenwood. The region's diverse economic activity is evident, from the extensive Strip mine operations near Linton to the specialized facilities at the Newport Ammunition Plant. Heavy infrastructure, including the Penn Central RR and Baltimore and Ohio RR, connects the major population centers of Terre Haute and Bloomington.
