About this map

Loogootee serves as the primary hub of this 1970s survey, where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad intersects the town's street grid. The landscape to the west is defined by the expansive West Boggs Lake and West Boggs Park, a significant recreational and water management feature of the era. To the east, the White River East Fork meanders through the terrain near the settlement of Mount Pleasant.

Evidence of the region's diverse rural economy is visible through several oil wells and a strip mine near Cannelburg. For genealogists, the map is a dense resource, locating numerous country churches and burial grounds such as St Marys Ch, Goodwill Cemetery, and Houghton Cem. The northern boundary is marked by the expansive Naval Weapons Support Center, highlighting the area's strategic importance during the Cold War period.
