1963 Map of Jasonville

About this map

Jasonville serves as the central hub of this Indiana landscape, where the intersections of the Monon and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads once defined the regional economy. The presence of Latta Yard south of the city and various Strip Mine sites across the terrain points to a history of heavy industry and coal extraction. To the west, Shakamak State Park provides a notable contrast, featuring Lake Shakamak and Lake Lenape alongside a dedicated Fish Hatchery. Historically significant infrastructure is visible in the north, where the Wabash and Erie Canal follows the course of the Eel River. Local rural life is evidenced by a network of country churches and schools, such as Friendly Grove Ch, Little Flock Ch, and the Township High Sch near Coalmont.
