1951 Map of Twelve Mile

About this map

The Wabash River and Eel River define the southern and central reaches of this north-central Indiana landscape, where early 1950s infrastructure reveals a region built on river-and-rail commerce. The village of Twelve Mile serves as a northern anchor, while the communities of Hoover and New Waverly are positioned along the major rail lines that crisscross the terrain. This survey provides a distinct look at the transit network of the era, featuring the Chesapeake and Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wabash railroads as they navigate the glacial drainage basins.
