1963 Map of Lebanon

About this map

Lebanon serves as the focal point of this Boone County landscape, showing significant mid-century expansion through the addition of residential developments like Northfield Village, Ulen, and Brendan Wood. The intersection of agricultural life and civic infrastructure is evident in the presence of the County Farm Home, the Armory, and the expansive Oak Hill Cemetery. Transport and utility networks, including the Conrail lines and the Filtration Plant, anchor the local economy, while landmarks like the Drive-in Theater reflect the cultural era. The surrounding townships of Washington, Clinton, and Worth are marked by a network of drainage ditches and creeks, such as Browns Wonder Creek and Prairie Creek, which have historically managed the fertile Indiana plains for farming and settlement.
