1961 Map of Milan

About this map

Laughery Creek carves a dramatic, winding path through the center of this Ripley County landscape, defining the topography for Versailles State Park. In the early 1960s, this area remained largely rural, anchored by the town of Milan in the northeast corner and the community of Versailles to the west. The serpentine course of the creek is marked by a Covered Bridge and a Lookout Tower, reflecting a park landscape developed for mid-century recreation with features like the Park Beach and Public Fishing Site.
