About this map

The Eel River and its accompanying rail corridors define the landscape of this Whitley County region in the early 1960s. The New York Chicago and St Louis railroad and the Pennsylvania line cut across the northern townships, anchoring the growth of South Whitley. Outside the main settlement, the area is partitioned into traditional agricultural grids across Richland, Columbia, Cleveland, and Washington townships. Small rural centers like Tunker and Washington Center serve as local hubs, while numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as Eberhard Ch and St Peters Cem, are scattered throughout the countryside. This survey captures a moment when the rural landscape was densely populated with small landmarks of community life, from the Fairview Ch in the west to Luther on the southern border with Huntington County.
