1957 Map of Livonia

About this map

The Lost River and its various forks carve through the agricultural and wooded landscape of Southern Indiana along the border of Orange and Washington counties. Small rural crossroads such as Bromer, Millersburg, and Pumpkin Center dot the landscape, representing the small-scale settlement patterns of the mid-20th century. In the southwest corner, the boundary of the Hoosier National Forest introduces a more densely forested terrain, contrasting with the open fields found in the Vernon and Northeast townships. This map is particularly dense with genealogical sites, showing numerous family and community burial grounds including Copelin Cem, Hardin Cem, and Posey Chapel Cem. Small rural educational centers such as Mahan Sch and Lynd Sch appear alongside country houses of worship like Pleasant Grove Ch, illustrating the decentralized social structure of the region during this era.
