About this map

Inwood and Bourbon anchor this Marshall County landscape during the late 1950s, a period defined by the steady rail traffic of the Conrail line and the historic path of the Lincoln Highway. The terrain is shaped by the southern flow of the Tippecanoe River and the meandering Yellow River, which cut through a grid of rural roads like Dausman Road and N Filbert Rd.

Evidence of local industry and community life is found in the Gravel Pit near the riverbanks and the presence of Storage Bins along the rail corridor. For those tracing family histories in the area, the map preserves the locations of rural landmarks like Tippecanoe Ch, Bethel Ch, and the Salem Cem. The map effectively documents the transition from early highway travel to modern transit patterns in northern Indiana.
