1978 Map of Lyons

About this map

Lyons and Newberry anchor this agricultural and riverine landscape during the late 1970s, where the winding course of the White River defines the boundary between Greene and Daviess counties. The river valley is a complex of former channels and depressions, including Birch Bed, Long Bed, and Sipes Bed, reflecting a landscape shaped by periodic flooding and shifts in the water's path. Infrastructure like the Conrail line and several small rail junctions such as Beehunter and Bushrod illustrate the area's historical reliance on rail transport for moving goods through the southern Indiana countryside.
