About this map

Millersburg serves as the central hub of this 1959 survey, situated at the intersection of a significant rail network and regional drainage systems. The New York Central railroad cuts diagonally across the landscape, paralleling the course of Stony Creek and the Elkhart River. This period of Indiana's rural development is marked by a high density of community institutions, particularly within Clinton township. Researchers will find numerous ecclesiastical and educational landmarks, including the Clinton Brick Ch, Fair Haven Ch, and the Clinton Christian Day Sch.

The terrain is defined by an intricate network of managed waterways such as Boyer DITCH and Mc Allister Ditch, which support the surrounding agricultural tracts. To the north, the boundary with Middlebury and Newbury townships is dotted with family-named landmarks like the Miller Cem and Eldridge Cem. The presence of a Microwave Tower near Silver Street Ch signals the mid-century introduction of modern communications infrastructure into this traditional farming landscape.
