1953 Map of Muncie

About this map

Industrial and agricultural hubs across East Central Indiana and Western Ohio are captured in this 1978 revision of the 1953 survey. The regional landscape is defined by the convergence of major river systems, including the Wabash River and Mississinewa River to the north, and the White River flowing through the manufacturing centers of Muncie and Anderson. The presence of the Prairie Creek Reservoir and the expansive Grand Lake St Marys highlights the mid-century development of water resources for the region's growing population.
