1955 Map of Mooresville West

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

White Lick River and the White River converge in this mid-century portrait of Morgan County, where the transition from agricultural uplands to industrial river bottoms is clearly defined. The landscape is dotted with rural centers like Gasburg and Bethany, alongside specialized landmarks such as the Goethe Link Observatory and the Camp Bradford Boy Scout Camp. The eastern corridor, shaped by the Pennsylvania railroad, reveals local industry through Brick Kilns and a Clay Pit near Centerton. Cultural life of the 1950s is evidenced by the Drive-in Theater and numerous country churches, including West Union Ch and Poplar Grove Ch. The northern terrain is characterized by a series of small water bodies like Echo Lake and Shadow Lake, providing a contrast to the dissected ridges of the Bradford and Clay townships to the south.
