1960 Map of Peru

About this map

The Wabash River and Mississinewa River converge at the city of Peru, forming a prominent hydrologic hub in this mid-century landscape. To the north, the Eel River meanders past the smaller settlements of Denver, Chili, and Mexico. The terrain is bisected by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, a historical survey line that still influenced property and township divisions when this data was compiled. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by several Oil Wells and a Sand and Gravel Pit near the riverbanks.
