1963 Map of Shelburn

About this map

Shelburn and Farmersburg anchor this Indiana landscape, situated within a grid of county roads that reflect the agricultural and industrial character of Sullivan County. The mid-century era is documented through numerous Oil Wells scattered across Fairbanks and Curry townships, while the path of the Csxt railroad and fragments of an Old Railroad Grade illustrate the shifting transportation network. Water features like Turman Creek and Sugar Creek carve through the terrain, occasionally interrupted by industrial sites such as Thunderbird Pond and various Tailings Ponds. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in family history markers, including West Lawn Cem, Little Flock Cem, and rural churches like Ebenezer Ch, providing exact locations for local landmarks and smaller crossroads communities such as Curryville and Scott City.
