1961 Map of Sidney

About this map

The Miami River corridor anchors this 1961 portrait of Sidney, where the industrial and municipal center of Shelby County sits at the intersection of the Baltimore and Ohio and New York Central railroads. The map illustrates the city's mid-century expansion, featuring prominent community landmarks like the Wilson Hospital, County Fairgrounds, and several neighborhood schools such as Longfellow Sch and Whittier Sch. Beyond the urban core, the landscape transitions into the productive agricultural townships of Clinton, Turtle Creek, and Franklin.
