1903 Map of Princeton

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

The Wabash River and White River converge in this pocket of Southwest Indiana, shaping a landscape defined by meandering watercourses and low-lying wetlands like Long Pond and Cypress Ponds. While the 1903 data captures the turn-of-the-century agricultural layout, 1940s revisions reveal the growth of Princeton and Owensville, alongside the emergence of the Patoka Airport and Camp Carson. The map provides a clear look at the region's transport evolution, showing the Wabash and Erie Canal as a relic of an earlier era, now surpassed by the heavy infrastructure of the Southern and Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroads.
