1961 Map of New Point

About this map

New Point serves as the central hub of this Indiana landscape, situated where the New York Central railroad bisects the countryside. The rail corridor connects smaller rural nodes like Rossburg and Smiths Crossing, while a network of regional roads links surrounding agricultural communities such as St Maurice, Enochsburg, and New Pennington. The terrain is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Salt Creek and the Vernon Fork of the Muscatatuck River, which cut through the level farmland.
