1951 Map of Milford

About this map

Milford and Syracuse anchor this mid-century survey of the northern Indiana prairie, a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage ditches and intersecting rail lines. The Baltimore And Ohio and the New York Central railroads cross at Milford Junction, illustrating the region's importance as a midwestern transit hub. To the north, the Elkhart River and Solomon Creek meander through the farmland, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the waters of Wabee Lake and Dewart Lake.
