1962 Map of Uniondale

About this map

The Wabash River meanders through the central landscape of this Wells County survey, serving as a focal point for local organization between the settlements of Murray and the northern outskirts of Bluffton. A historical Treaty Line cuts diagonally across the northern townships, reflecting the early structural division of the land. The mapping reveals a well-established agricultural and civic network, with prominent features like the Lancaster Central Sch and the Murray Conservation Club anchoring the community. Transportation patterns are defined by a grid of rural roads and the remnant path of an Old Railroad Grade passing through Kingsland. To the south, the expansion of the county seat is evident near Toll Gate Heights and the Drive-in Theater, while smaller crossroads like Uniondale and Greenwood maintain their rural character amidst a network of drainage ditches such as Fleming Ditch and Griffin Ditch.
