1974 Map of New Fairfield

About this map

Brookville Lake dominates the western landscape of this eastern Indiana region, where the East Fork Whitewater River valley has been transformed by a significant reservoir project. The map illustrates the resulting geography of the late 20th century, showing how the rising waters shaped the shoreline of Whitewater State Park and necessitated infrastructure like the Fairfield Causeway. This water management project contrasts with the persistent agricultural grid and rural settlements that define the surrounding townships of Liberty, Harmony, and Bath.
