1956 Map of Vincennes

About this map

The Wabash River and White River systems dominate this mid-century look at the tri-state region, where the industrial hub of Evansville anchors the southern landscape and the historic settlement of Vincennes sits at the western border. The eastern half of the map reveals the dense wooded terrain of the Hoosier National Forest and specialized federal sites like the Crane Naval Ammunition Depot. This survey captures the transition from the coal-rich plains of Greene-Sullivan State Forest and active Strip Mine operations to the established agricultural and rail centers of Washington, Jasper, and Bedford.
