About this map

The White River carves a winding path through this mid-1960s landscape, flanked by the dramatic topography of The Bluffs and Waverly Woods. To the north, the town of Mooresville serves as a hub, marked by the Pennsylvania RR and local industry like the Sewage Disposal plant. This era shows a community in transition, with established centers like Brooklyn and Waverly punctuated by newer developments such as Crestview Heights and Brookmoor.

Genealogists can trace family roots through numerous local landmarks, including the Mackenzie Cem and Mt Olive Cem, or the small rural Hoop Cem. The presence of several country schools, such as Walnut Grove Sch and North Madison Sch, alongside local spiritual centers like Grace Missionary Ch, reflects a classic Midwestern social geography. Small water bodies like Leona Lake and Paradise Lakes sit among the hills of Madison and Harrison townships, while the Drive-in Theater near Brooklyn points to the recreational culture of the mid-century.
