About this map

Camp Atterbury Military Reservation dominates the landscape of this 1948 survey, showing a significant military presence shortly after World War II. The map details the extensive infrastructure of the camp, including Wakeman Hospital and a notably labeled Prisoner-of-War Cem. The small settlement of Nineveh sits just to the west, serving as a quiet neighbor to the massive military facility.

Outside the reservation boundaries, the terrain transitions into a network of creeks and ridges, such as Renner Hill and the Saddle. Local history and genealogy are preserved through the locations of the St Johns Ch and several burial grounds, including Mt Moriah Cem and Kansas Cem. The road network of the era is clearly defined, with paths like Tipton Trail and Old Road threading through the hills and valleys carved by Nineveh Creek and Sugar Creek.
