1963 Map of Onward

About this map

Bunker Hill Air Force Base dominates the southeastern portion of this landscape, its runways and complex facility footprint illustrating the Cold War military presence in Cass and Miami counties. The Wabash River carves across the northern edge of the sheet near Lewisburg, while the central and southern sections are defined by a network of drainage systems including Pipe Creek, Little Deer Creek, and Deer Creek. This mid-century survey reveals a rural landscape anchored by small towns like Onward and Walton.
