1955 Map of South Boston
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
Clark State Forest covers a significant portion of this landscape in southern Indiana, where the terrain is carved by the intricate drainage systems of the Blue River. The mid-1950s settlement pattern shows a rural society centered around small church congregations and country schools, such as Franklin Sch in the north and Polk Sch to the south. Small communities like South Boston and New Salem anchor the road network, while smaller hamlets such as Harris and Conoway sit at key intersections. The map preserves the locations of several community landmarks, including Olive Branch Ch and Bunker Hill Ch, alongside resting places like Chestnut Hill Cem. This topography reflects the transition between early frontier farming and the emergence of state-managed forest lands during the mid-20th century.
