1950 Map of Palmyra

About this map

Palmyra stands at the intersection of local travel routes in this 1950 survey, serving as a hub near the convergence of Harrison, Washington, and Floyd Counties. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Blue River and the South Fork Blue River, which carve through the townships of Pierce, Jackson, and Morgan. This era captures a rural Indiana community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the numerous country churches like Big Springs Ch and Bethlehem Ch that dot the countryside.
