1962 Map of Marietta

About this map

Sugar Creek and the Big Blue River converge in this agricultural region of Central Indiana, defining a landscape of alluvial bottoms and well-defined township boundaries. Small rural centers such as Marietta and Bengal serve as anchors for a grid of named section roads, including 900 South Road and Division Road. The settlement pattern is deeply tied to the waterways, with the Blue River Ch and several burial grounds like Smiley Cem and Brockman Cem situated near the drainage basins. In the southwest, the Atterbury State Fish and Wildlife Area occupies a significant portion of the terrain, featuring specialized infrastructure like a Pumphouse and Water Tank. This 1960s-era revision highlights the transition between traditional farmsteads and modern conservation areas, documenting the precise locations of a Gravel Pit and the Township Sch.
