1952 Map of Majenica

About this map

The Wabash River meanders across this Huntington County landscape, defining the northern geography alongside the Erie RR corridor. During the early 1950s, the area surrounding the city of Huntington supported a blend of municipal infrastructure and rural community life, evidenced by the Huntington Waterworks, the County Infirmary, and the Huntington Municipal Airport. The map highlights a network of small centers such as Majenica, Rock Creek Center, and Simpson, while preserving the locations of numerous historic country churches and burial grounds like Loon Creek Ch and Rees Cem. A distinct legal boundary, the Richardville Reserve No 36, appears on the eastern edge, a remnant of earlier land divisions. Drainage and irrigation are meticulously charted through features like Elekenberry Ditch and Ellis Ditch, which supported the agricultural character of the region.
