1960 Map of Sulphur Springs

About this map

Sulphur Springs and the surrounding townships of Salem, Monroe, Jefferson, and Prairie define this agricultural landscape at the turn of the 1960s. The region is marked by a transition from Delaware County into Henry County, with the New York Chicago and St Louis RR serving as a vital transportation artery connecting the small elevator towns of Oakville and Springport. The drainage patterns of Fall Creek, Bell Creek, and Honey Creek dictate the layout of the rural road network, which follows a rigid section-line grid including 500 South Road and 700 South Road.
