1953 Map of La Fontaine
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
La Fontaine serves as the central hub of this mid-century Indiana landscape, where the New York Central railroad tracks bisect the town as they run southeast toward the Mississinewa River. The surrounding townships of Liberty, Noble, and Washington are dotted with family and community landmarks vital to local genealogy, including the Stone Cem, America Cem, and the Meshingomesia Cem located near the southern boundary. The presence of the Lincolnville Airfield to the north and the Hendricks Sch near Jalapa reflects the rural infrastructure of the early 1950s. Waterways like Grant Creek and Metocinah Creek drain the agricultural terrain, illustrating the historical drainage patterns before modern land development altered the local hydrology.
