1953 Map of Pendleton

About this map

Pendleton serves as the primary hub in this mid-century survey, situated at the intersection of the New York Central railroad and Central Ave. The landscape transitions from this concentrated settlement into the agricultural townships of Fall Creek, Adams, Green, and Brown. A network of drainage ditches, including Manifold Ditch, Dunwoody DITCH, and Pee Dee Ditch, highlights the extensive reclamation of the fertile till plains for farming, a defining characteristic of this part of the Indiana corn belt.
