About this map

Big Raccoon Creek and its many tributaries, including Rattlesnake Creek and Cornstalk Creek, dominate this central Indiana landscape as it appeared in the late 1950s. The town of Ladoga serves as the primary hub, situated where the Monon railroad corridor intersects the local stream network. The mapping of Union, Walnut, Scott, and Clark townships reveals a rural economy structured around rail transportation, with the New York Central line cutting through the northern portion of the quadrangle near Linnsburg.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family and community burial grounds, such as Harshbarger Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Stoner Cem. Small settlements like Whitesville and Markey are clearly defined, providing a reliable record of the area's mid-century footprint. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a Sewage Disposal plant near the town center reflects the localized industrial and infrastructure development of Montgomery County during this era.
