1962 Map of Rosedale

About this map

Otter Creek meanders across this landscape, defining the rural and industrial character of the border between Parke Co and Vigo Co during the mid-20th century. The settlement of Rosedale anchors the north, while the expanding footprint of North Terre Haute and Seelyville to the south reveals a region in transition. The map details a complex transportation network where the Penn Central, Baltimore And Ohio, and Louisville And Nashville railroads intersect, facilitating the movement of coal from local Strip Mine operations.
