1961 Map of Pyrmont

About this map

The winding course of Wildcat Creek and its Middle Fork carve through the agricultural heart of Tippecanoe and Carroll counties in this early 1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between flat, gridded uplands and the wooded, deeply incised stream valleys where rural hamlets like Pyrmont and Owasco are situated. This era shows the local transportation network in detail, from the Monon railroad corridor near Ockley to family-named routes like Schimmel Road and Stull Road. Religious and social hubs are clearly marked, including Bethel Ch and Oxford Ch, alongside several quiet burial grounds such as St Johns Cem. The presence of the Sycamore Valley Camp and a distinct landform known as The Mound provides insight into the recreational and geological character of the region during the mid-century.
