1959 Map of Princeton
USGS Topo · Published 1989About this map
The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices diagonally across this portion of Gibson County, cutting through the residential heart of Princeton just north of the Courthouse. This late-1950s record of the area shows a town structured by its heritage and industry, where the Southern railroad line supports an Oil Refinery and a Substation near the small settlement of King. Residential life is clustered around historic institutions like Riley Sch, Lafayette Sch, and the St Josephs Ch complex. To the south, Fort Branch sits along the southern edge of the quadrangle, while the landscape between the towns is marked by rural landmarks including the Drive-in Theater and the County Fairgrounds. Water management is evident through a network of engineered features such as Brown Ditch and Old Ditch, which navigate the terrain toward Pigeon Creek.
