About this map

The White River winds through the heart of this Morgan County landscape, shaping the development of riverside communities like Waverly and the high ground of The Bluffs. In the mid-1960s, this area reflects a mix of traditional agricultural crossroads and expanding residential clusters. Significant local landmarks such as the Walnut Grove Sch and North Madison Sch serve the scattered populations of Young, Miller, and Five Points. The northern edge of the map is dominated by the town of Mooresville, where the Conrail line and Old 67 Road facilitate regional transit.

Genealogists will find numerous family-centric landmarks, including the Mackenzie Cem, Mt Olive Cem, and the Butterfield Cem south of Brooklyn. The presence of sites like the Drive-in Theater and Brooklyn Rest Park illustrates the mid-century social character of the region. From the elevations of Fox Hill to the banks of Sinking Creek, the map details a rural-to-suburban transition as Crestview Heights and Ridgewood began to define the modern footprint of the county.
