1949 Map of Palmyra

About this map

The county seat of Palmyra serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, showcasing a grid of developed streets and public institutions like the Marion County Infirmary. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North River and its various tributaries, including Lazy Branch and Lick Creek, which carve through the townships of Fabius and Liberty. The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cuts a diagonal path across the southwest, anchoring smaller rural nodes like Woodland.
