About this map

Losantville and Modoc serve as primary hubs in this East Central Indiana landscape, where the Chesapeake and Ohio and Penn Central rail lines converge. The rural character of the region is defined by a dense network of county roads, such as 800 North Road and 600 South Road, connecting numerous community anchors including Union Ch, Mt Zion Ch, and the Township Sch.

Waterways like the Little White River and Stoney Creek wind through the township boundaries of Stoney Creek and Union. The map reveals specific land uses of the late 1960s, from the Sand and Gravel Pit in the north to the Rodenbeck Landing Strip near the center. For genealogists, the survey identifies several burial grounds including Poplar Run Cem, Wood Cem, and the Nettle Creek Cem near the southern border.
