1950 Map of Pierceton

About this map

Pierceton serves as the central hub of this Indiana landscape, situated along the Pennsylvania railroad line that cuts a straight path across the terrain. The map captures the agricultural and community structure of the early 1950s, where small settlements like Larwill and Deeds are anchored by local institutions such as Wooster Church and the Consolidated School. A dense concentration of small glacial lakes, including Robinson Lake, Sellers Lake, and Mud Lake, dot the townships, shaping the local geography between Washington, Troy, and Richland. For those looking into local history, the distribution of burial sites like Washington-Union Cemetery and Hillcrest Cemetery provides a clear view of the area's rural social fabric during this post-war era.
