About this map

Liberty serves as the focal point of this 1960s survey, where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor meets a dense network of rural roads like Lafuze Road and Stout Road. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the East Fork Whitewater River and the newly established Whitewater State Park, reflecting a mid-century shift toward recreational land use in eastern Indiana.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including several family and community burial grounds such as Potter Cem, Silver Creek Cem, and Patterson Cem. Smaller rural clusters like Abington and Clifton are mapped alongside significant institutional sites like the Smith-Esteb Memorial Home and the County Home, providing a clear picture of the social and civic geography of Union County at this time.
