1957 Map of Owensburg

About this map

Owensburg sits at the heart of this mid-century landscape where the winding course of Indian Creek dictates the movement of roads and settlements. To the south, a significant portion of the territory is dedicated to the U S Naval Reservation Crane Ammunition Depot, marking a stark transition from the rural township sections to federal military use. This intersection of military logistics and traditional agrarian life is further defined by the inclusion of the Hoosier National Forest and localized landmarks such as Tunnel Hill.
