1956 Map of Loogootee

About this map

The town of Loogootee serves as the central hub of this 1950s survey, situated where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor cuts across the boundary of Daviess and Martin County. The landscape reflects a mix of traditional agriculture and burgeoning heavy industry, evidenced by the extensive strip mine operations and scattered oil wells found near Cannelburg. To the east, the terrain becomes more varied as it approaches the East Fork White River, where Houghton Bridge and the Pumping Station mark the river economy.
