1972 Map of Logansport

About this map

Logansport serves as the focal point of this survey, situated at the significant confluence where the Eel River meets the Wabash River. The mid-20th-century landscape reveals a dense urban core featuring the Courthouse, City Hall, and several parochial institutions like St Josephs Sch and St Vincents Sch. Outside the city, the terrain is divided by historical surveying lines, most notably the Treaty Boundary that cuts across the northern townships of Bethlehem and Miami. Transportation patterns are defined by the Norfolk and Western railroad and an Old Railroad Grade near Adamsboro. Small rural hubs like Metea and Mt Pleasant anchor the northern reaches, while numerous family and community burial sites, including Bethel Cem and Horney Cem, provide essential data for genealogical research into the area's early residents.
