1960 Map of Kokomo West

About this map

The urban periphery of western Kokomo and the agricultural lands of Harrison and Honey Creek townships define this early 1960s landscape. Residential expansion is visible in the emergence of Indian Heights and several schools, including Maple Crest Sch and Western High Sch, which served the growing population on the city’s edge. Rural life at this time centered on small communities and transport hubs like West Middleton, where the New York Chicago and St Louis Railroad intersects the local grid.
