1966 Map of Murdock

About this map

Murdock stands as a focal point in this mid-1960s survey of western Cass County, situated at the junction of the Chicago and Rock Island railroad line and local section roads. The landscape is defined by the branching drainages of Salt Creek and Callahan Creek, which carve through the agricultural tablelands of the South Bend and Elmwood precincts. This period reveals a rural community supported by a network of local landmarks, including the Callahan Ch and several family or community burial grounds like Hill Cem and Callahan Cem.
