1951 Map of Smedley

About this map

McKinley and Haleysburg sit atop the dissected uplands of southern Indiana, where the landscape is defined by the sharp transition between narrow ridges and deep valley floors. The southern portion of this mid-century survey is dominated by the Chicago Indianapolis and Louisville railroad corridor, serving small rail-side communities such as Smedley and Oxonia (Hitchcock Sta). The rural infrastructure is remarkably intact, showing a high density of neighborhood institutions like the Four Corners Sch and Mt Zion Ch that served the local farming population.
