About this map

The East Fork White River meanders across this landscape, defining the industrial and civic layout of the city of Seymour. This mid-century survey highlights a town deeply integrated with its transportation infrastructure, from the Baltimore and Ohio RR tracks to the expansive Freeman Municipal Airport on the southern edge. The map captures the city's social fabric through an extensive network of neighborhood schools like Emerson Sch and Riley Sch, and civic landmarks including Schneck Hospital.

Beyond the urban center, the terrain transitions into the wooded ridges of the Jackson-Washington State Forest, where the Pinnacle stands as a prominent natural landmark. Significant historical markers are preserved in the landscape, most notably the Old Indian Treaty Boundary that cuts diagonally across the township lines. Scattered rural settlements such as Cortland and New Elizabethtown provide key reference points for genealogists, alongside numerous family and church burial grounds like Riverview Cemetery and Durland Cem.
