1958 Map of Sunman

About this map

The New York Central railroad cuts a diagonal path across the northern reaches of this territory, connecting the established rail town of Sunman to the outlying landscape of Dearborn and Ripley counties. This mid-century survey illustrates a rural society organized around crossroads communities and church parishes, including New Alsace, Weisburg, and Negangards Corner. Notable landmarks such as the County Home and Township Sch provide a view into the civic infrastructure of the era, while the Treaty Line road serves as a persistent reminder of early land surveys and historical boundaries.
