1962 Map of Pershing

About this map

The Tippecanoe River meanders across this northern Indiana landscape, defining the northern edge of Richland township. This early 1960s survey documents a highly engineered agricultural environment where the land is partitioned by an extensive network of drainage features, including Tilden Ditch, Mathias Ditch, and Robbins Walters Ditch. The settlement of Pershing sits at the intersection of local roads and the Erie-Lackawanna railroad, which cuts diagonally across the northern half of the map.
