1970 Map of Lizton

About this map

Agricultural lands and rural crossroads define the border between Boone and Hendricks counties in this early 1970s survey. The town of Lizton sits at a transportation juncture, where the Penn Central railroad tracks cut through the landscape near Raintown and the Vieley Cemetery. To the northwest, the community of Jamestown is established along the same rail corridor, surrounded by a network of drainage ditches and creeks including the Middle Fork and Big Walnut Creek. Local education and faith are represented by landmarks such as Wells High School, Pinnell School, and the Old Union Church. The terrain is marked by essential infrastructure of the era, from a network of numbered section roads to the presence of Gravel Pits, a Radio Tower, and several family or community burial grounds like the Groover Cemetery.
