About this map

Kokomo expands eastward across this 1960 topographic survey, revealing the city's mid-century residential and industrial footprint. The landscape is defined by the Wildcat Creek drainage system, which feeds into the Kokomo Waterworks Reservoir No 2 and Reservoir No 1. These water resources supported the growing urban core, where several education and faith centers appear, including Studebaker Sch, St Joan of Arc Sch, and Darrongh Chapel.

Outside the city limits, the landscape transitions into the agricultural grid of Howard and Tipton Counties. Small rural clusters like Oakford, Hemlock, and Indian Heights provide insight into the settlement patterns of the era, many situated near the tracks of the Pennsylvania RR. Notable local landmarks like Izaak Walton Lake and several family-named burial grounds, such as Albright Cem and Poff Cem, offer valuable reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing the heritage of these Indiana townships.
