1962 Map of Letona

About this map

Letona anchors the northern portion of this 1962 topographic survey, sitting just south of the winding course of Big Creek. The landscape of White County is defined here by the transition from the rolling elevations of Mount Pisgah and Backbone Ridge to the complex network of stream branches including Panther Branch, Lick Branch, and Anders Branch. A notable historical detail is the Railroad Grade running north-south through the center of the sheet, indicating a former transport corridor that once connected these rural communities.
