1958 Map of Sunman

About this map

Sunman and its surrounding rural communities in Ripley and Dearborn Counties are captured here during a period of steady mid-century transition. The landscape is defined by the New York Central railroad corridor, which links the villages of Weisburg and Sunman, facilitating the regional movement of goods through this agricultural heartland. The map reveals a dense network of local landmarks essential to 1950s community life, including the Township Sch, St Johns Ch, and the County Home.
