1963 Map of Seelyville
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The eastern edge of Terre Haute meets a landscape defined by industry and education in this mid-century survey. Rose Polytechnic Institute and the expansive Highland Lawn Cemetery anchor the transition from the city into the surrounding coal and transit country of Seelyville and Riley. The terrain is marked by the legacy of early Indiana infrastructure, most notably the traces of the Wabash and Erie Canal (Abandoned) and the Central Canal (Abandoned) which once served as vital trade arteries. Aviation and national defense presence is significant, centered on Hulman Airport and the adjacent Indiana Air National Guard facility. Evidence of the region’s extractive history is found at the Mt Pleasant Mine, while smaller communities like Tabertown and Glen Ayr are joined by a dense network of rail lines including the Pennsylvania and Milwaukee Road.
