1946 Map of New Point

About this map

New Point serves as the central hub of this mid-1940s landscape, positioned along the busy corridor of the New York Central railroad. This survey captures a period when rural Indiana life was organized around small neighborhood institutions, evidenced by the distribution of country schools and churches across the Salt Creek and Laughery townships. The map documents the intricate drainage patterns where the Muscatatuck Fork and Walnut Fork meet the rolling uplands of Decatur and Franklin counties.
