1971 Map of Reelsville

About this map

Big Walnut Creek carves a winding path through this central Indiana landscape, a region defined in the early 1970s by its river crossings and established small settlements. Three distinct timber structures, the Houck Covered Bridge, Manhattan Covered Bridge, and Huffman Covered Bridge, remain prominent landmarks along the waterways, highlighting a persistent engineering heritage in Washington and Madison townships. The local infrastructure follows a mix of traditional water-level routes and the straight line of the Penn Central railroad, which services the community of Reelsville.
