About this map

Muncie expands eastward toward the White River in this late 1960s snapshot of Delaware County development. The city’s residential fringe reaches into neighborhoods like Irvington and Morningside, while the industrial and utility infrastructure is marked by a Filtration Plant and Sewage Disposal facility near the river. Significant land use for education is evident through numerous schools, including Kuhner Jr High Sch and Southside High Sch.

Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into a network of small communities and rural intersections. Selma and Desoto serve as local hubs, connected by the Penn Central and Norfolk and Western railroads. To the southeast, the Prairie Creek Reservoir and Camp Munsee represent the area's mid-century recreational development. For the family historian, numerous burial grounds such as Truitt Cem and Parker Moore Cem are carefully documented across the townships.
