About this map

Lebanon serves as the central hub of this Boone County landscape, showing the town's mid-century footprint alongside expansion into neighboring Ulen and Brendan Wood. The map documents a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, from the Witham Hospital and High School to the Municipal Bldg downtown. Transportation patterns are defined by the Conrail line and a dense network of numbered county roads that follow the township boundaries of Washington, Clinton, Center, and Worth.

Beyond the urban center, the land is marked by an extensive system of drainage infrastructure including Buntin Ditch and Isenhour Ditch, essential for the agricultural character of the region. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites and places of worship, such as Bethel Cem & Ch, Browns Wonder Cem, and the expansive Oak Hill Cemetery. Small outliers like Elizaville and the County Farm Home provide further points of interest for local historians.
