1958 Map of Rensselaer

About this map

Rensselaer sits at the center of this rural landscape where the Wabash railroad and Highway 19 intersect, marking a vital transit point in the late 1950s. The map captures the agricultural and industrial character of the Marion and Ralls county border, where small settlements like Huntington and West Ely serve as local hubs. This area is defined by its water systems, including the winding South River and several smaller streams like Bear Creek and Cedar Creek.
