1961 Map of Tab

About this map

The settlement of Tab serves as a focal point in this 1961 survey, situated at the intersection of agricultural transport and mid-century rail lines. The landscape is defined by the New York Central and New York Chicago and St Louis railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods from local elevators and storage bins. This area in Prairie and Jordan townships showcases a highly organized drainage system, with Leak Ditch, Farrell Ditch, and Goose Creek carving through the terrain to support intensive farming. For those researching local genealogy, the map identifies the Locust Grove Ch, the adjacent Locust Grove Cem, and the Township School, providing clear spatial context for these community centers in the early 1960s. The northern border follows the Benton Co Warren Co County Line Road, marking the transition between Hickory Grove and Grant townships.
