1956 Map of Rays Crossing
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Little Blue River and its various tributaries, including Sulphur Run and Foreman Branch, carve a path through the agricultural landscape of Shelby and Rush Counties. The settlement of Rays Crossing serves as a central point along the Conrail line, featuring local infrastructure like Grain Storage Bins and the Township Sch. This mid-century survey documents a dense network of rural community landmarks, from family burial grounds like Bennett Cem to several local congregations including Blue River Chapel and Mt Pisgah Ch. The 1981 revisions highlight modern developments such as a Drive-in Theater and the expansion of Knightstown Village. This documentation preserves the character of Indiana's farming townships during an era of infrastructure transition, tracing the physical history of the Addison, Marion, and Union townships.
