1945 Map of Sandy Hook

About this map

The East Fork White River and White River converge in this mid-century survey of the Indiana countryside, defining the borders of Daviess, Knox, and Pike counties. The landscape is marked by a dense network of local education and faith, featuring numerous country schools like Letts Sch, Scudder Sch, and Swan Sch, alongside rural congregations at Bethel Ch and Aikman Ch. In the northern section, Thomas Bluff rises above the lowlands of Veale Creek, while the southwestern corner shows the industrial footprint of a Strip Mine. Geographers and local historians will note the path of the Central Canal running north-south, and the scattering of river-adjacent water bodies such as Chew Pond and Horseshoe Pond that indicate the shifting nature of the river valley's drainage before modern management.
