1957 Map of Inwood

About this map

Inwood serves as the central hub of this mid-century Indiana landscape, situated where the Pennsylvania railroad and the Lincoln Pennsylvania Highway intersect. The settlement pattern follows a rigid grid of rural roads, including North Hawthorn Road and South Filbert Road, which bisect the agricultural fields of Center, Bourbon, and Walnut townships. To the north, the Yellow River meanders across the territory, providing a natural break in the otherwise systematic land divisions. Local landmarks such as the Bethel Ch and the Salem Cem offer specific points of interest for those tracing family roots in Marshall County. Industrial and utility infrastructure is also evident, including a Gravel Pit, Storage Bins, and a Sub Sta, reflecting the functional mid-century rural economy of the region.
