About this map

Logansport serves as the focal point of this 1970s landscape, situated at the confluence of the Eel River and the Wabash River. The city's industrial and civic core is well-defined, featuring the Penn Central and Norfolk and Western railroads, a Powerplant, and Memorial Hosp. To the north and east, the map reveals a meticulously surveyed grid of township roads intersecting the Old Treaty Boundary, which cuts diagonally across the terrain near Metea.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the outlying areas, where rural life is anchored by small settlements like Adamsboro and Wilson Gem. Numerous family and community landmarks are preserved, including Horney Cemetery, Bethel Cemetery, and Bethlehem Church. The transition from urban infrastructure in Logansport to the agricultural reaches of Bethlehem and Noble townships illustrates the mid-century development patterns of Cass County before further modern expansion.
