1958 Map of Quincy

About this map

Quincy serves as the central hub of this mid-century topographic record, where the Monon railroad corridor cuts through the landscape to meet Wallace Junction. The map illustrates a transitional rural geography across the Owen, Putnam, and Morgan county lines, defined by a network of local congregations and burial grounds like Hudson Hill Ch and Little Mount Cem. A significant historical landmark is the Treaty Boundary running diagonally through the southern sections, marking a line of earlier land cession. The terrain is deeply etched by waterways such as Mill Creek and Monon Creek, supporting a scattered settlement pattern that includes the small hamlets of Alaska and Lewisville. An isolated Quarry near the eastern edge suggests localized industrial activity amidst the predominantly agricultural and wooded hills of the late 1950s.
