USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The National Road and the Pennsylvania Railroad define the mid-century development of this portion of Hendricks County, Indiana. Centered on Plainfield, the map reveals a landscape balancing small-town growth with agricultural roots, evidenced by the scattered outlying settlements of Cartersburg, Belleville, and Joppa. The presence of the Indiana Boys School southwest of Plainfield marks a significant institutional landmark of the era, while local spiritual and community life is anchored by locations such as Salem Ch and Sugar Grove Ch.
