1958 Map of Nappanee East

About this map

The town of Nappanee anchors the northwestern corner of this Indiana landscape, where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor provides a primary east-west axis through the countryside. The survey shows the boundary between Elkhart and Kosciusko counties, an area characterized by a dense network of drainage canals such as Dausman Ditch, Fisher-Gordon Ditch, and Wisler Ditch that transformed the prairie into productive farmland. Small rural clusters and waypoints like Gravelton and Hastings appear alongside numerous community landmarks. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, identifying several country churches including Bethel Ch, Providence Ch, Union Grove Ch, and Island Chapel, as well as the Brumbaugh Cem and Island Cem. Local education is represented by the Township Sch and East Side Sch, reflecting the decentralized school system of the mid-20th century.
