1975 Map of Owensburg

About this map

Owensburg sits at the heart of this southern Indiana landscape, where the winding waters of Indian Creek and its tributaries like Town Branch and Cole Branch dictate the local geography. The map reveals a transition between agricultural land and protected wilderness, with the Hoosier National Forest and the Naval Weapons Support Center occupying significant portions of the southern terrain. This mid-1970s survey captures a rural landscape still deeply connected to its early settlement roots, evidenced by numerous family and pioneer cemeteries scattered throughout the townships of Jackson, Center, and Perry.
