1958 Map of Springville

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Galena River and its surrounding wetlands, including Crosby Marsh, dominate the northern portion of this northern Indiana landscape during the mid-to-late twentieth century. The map illustrates a region in transition as modern infrastructure like the Indiana Toll Road cuts through rural townships such as Springfield, Galena, and Kankakee. Transportation is a central theme, with the corridor heavily influenced by the Chicago South Shore and South Bend, the Norfolk and Western, and the Chesapeake and Ohio railroads. Small community centers like Hesston, Springville, and Byron are preserved alongside essential local landmarks including the Fish Hatchery and Posey Chapel. On the outskirts of La Porte, recreational and residential features such as the Drive-in Theater, several trailer parks, and the waters of Fishtrap Lake and Tee Lake reflect the area's mid-century development and land use patterns.
