About this map

The Wabash River carves a deep path through Vigo County in this 1941 preliminary survey, separating the dense urban grid of Terre Haute from its western neighbors. This period of industrial and civic expansion is evident in the concentration of educational and power infrastructure, most notably the Dresser Power Plant on the riverbank and the Teachers College near the city center. The rail networks of the New York Central, Pennsylvania, and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific converge on the city, illustrating its role as a regional transportation hub during the mid-twentieth century.
