1958 Map of Pimento

About this map

Pimento and Farmersburg anchor this survey of southern Vigo County, where the agricultural landscape meets the developing infrastructure of the mid-20th century. The rural character of the region is punctuated by local centers of faith and memory, such as Farmers Chapel, Oregon Ch, and the Union Cem. A series of small settlements and clusters, including Youngstown and Prairieton, are linked by a network of roads and the Csxt rail line. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Prairie Creek and Honey Creek, while specialized features like a Landing Strip and Sewage Disposal facility near Youngstown indicate the modernization of the area by the 1980s. Local landmarks such as the Hayworth Trailer Park and various family-named burial grounds like Kester Cem provide specific points of interest for those tracing the social geography of the Wabash Valley region.
