1958 Map of Nappanee West

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The city of Nappanee anchors the eastern edge of this late-1950s survey, showing the town's grid just south of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The surrounding rural landscape is defined by an extensive network of drainage systems, such as Heinkey Ditch and Beech DITCH, which enabled agriculture across the Marshall and Elkhart County border. The placement of schools and churches reveals a tight-knit agrarian society, with locations like Borkholder Sch and South Union Chapel serving local farm families. The road network often carries the names of early residents, such as Sarah Hershberger Road and Pittman Road, providing excellent genealogical breadcrumbs. The intersection of rail transport and field drainage reflects the mid-century transition as Northern Indiana's industrial and agricultural economies matured.
