About this map

Millersburg serves as the central hub of this Northern Indiana landscape, situated at the junction of the New York Central and Wabash railroads. The late 1950s terrain is marked by a high density of rural social institutions, particularly in the townships of Clinton and Eden. Small community centers are anchored by landmarks such as the Clinton Brick Ch, St Johns Ch, and Fair Haven Ch, alongside several local education sites like the Silver Street Sch and the Clinton Christian Day Sch.

The southern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of the Elkhart River as it passes through Benton and Perry townships. The drainage network, including Stony Creek and Boyer Ditch, illustrates the heavy agricultural modification of the land. Genealogists may find value in the scattered burial grounds, such as Miller Cem and the Clinton Union Cem, which reflect the early settlement patterns of Elkhart and LaGrange counties.
