1968 Map of New Haven

Beyond the industrial riverfront, the map documents a dense network of rural community life through family-named landmarks and country churches. Genealogists can trace sites like Bachtel Ch, White Ch, and the Evergreen Cem near the riverbanks. The presence of an Indian Mound near Yellowbush Creek adds a layer of ancient history to the more modern developments of Southern Local High Sch and the Racine Locks and Dam, which represent the mid-20th-century modernization of river navigation.
