1960 Map of Mitchell

About this map

The intersection of the Baltimore and Ohio, Monon, and Louisville and Nashville railroads anchors this region of southern Indiana. The landscape is defined by the significant cave systems and karst features of Spring Mill State Park, which includes Donaldson Cave, Bronson Cave, and Twin Caves. These natural formations are accompanied by the historic reconstruction at Spring Mill Village and the Purdue Experimental Orchard. The diagonal line of the Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across the terrain, serving as a reminder of early frontier divisions between the townships of Marion, Bono, and Orleans. Further south, the town of Orleans is shown with its local landmarks, including the Orleans Airport and Fairview Cem, while the Lost River meanders through the southern portion of the quadrangle.
