1950 Map of Laconia

About this map

Big Buck Creek and its winding tributaries define the landscape of south-central Harrison County, Indiana, as it appeared in the mid-20th century. The settlement of Laconia serves as a central hub, surrounded by a dense network of family cemeteries and rural institutions like St Michaels Ch and Rehoboth Sch. The map documents a rural economy transitioning between traditional agriculture and early industrial activity, evidenced by the numerous natural gas wells marked throughout the township and Siepels Quarry to the north.
