1957 Map of North Vernon

About this map

Sand Creek meanders deeply across this Jennings County landscape, defining the topography of Geneva and Center townships. The rail-oriented development of the mid-20th century is evident in the convergence of the Baltimore and Ohio and Conrail lines at North Vernon, while older transportation routes like the Indian Grade and Old Railroad Grade hint at earlier transit patterns. Cultural landmarks are frequent throughout the rural areas, including the Covered Bridge near Scipio and numerous small country houses of worship such as Pleasant View Ch and Oak Grove Ch.
