About this map

Quincy stands as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in the late 1940s, situated where the Chicago Indianapolis And Louisville railroad navigates the drainages of Brush Creek and Mill Creek. The settlement pattern follows a grid of rural roads punctuated by numerous country churches such as Smyrna Ch, Amity Ch, and Montgomery Chapel. A significant rail junction is found at Wallace Jct, where two lines of the Monon Route converge near the Putnam and Owen County line. Local geology is evidenced by features like Spring Cave and Rogers Cave, while the community’s social fabric is recorded through several rural schoolhouses and family-named cemeteries including Mannon Cem and Combs Cem. The map provides a detailed view of these small unincorporated settlements, including Alaska and Lewisville, during a period of steady post-war rural life.
