1962 Map of Mc Coysburg

About this map

The Iroquois River winds through the northwest corner of this Jasper County landscape, anchoring a region defined by an extensive drainage network that includes the Ryan Ditch and Monon Ditch. This early 1960s survey captures the rural character of northern Indiana, where small settlements like Barkley, Pleasant Ridge, and McCoysburg are connected by the tracks of the Monon Railroad. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Smith Cem, Henkle Cem, and Parkison Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research.
