1956 Map of Waldron

About this map

Waldron and Saint Paul serve as the primary hubs in this mid-century portrait of southeastern Shelby County. The Flatrock River winds across the southern landscape, its banks dotted with small communities and recreation sites like Pleasure Valley and Camp Flat Rock. This area reflects a classic Indiana agricultural and transport network, where the Penn Central railroad line and Vandalia Road parallel the river's path, connecting established towns with outlying rural settlements like Geneva and Germantown. Local life is anchored by dispersed landmarks including Wesley Chapel, Valley Ch, and St Vincents Sch, while the presence of a Stone Quarry near Saint Paul points to the area's geological industry. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Vienna Cem and Simmons Cem, are clearly marked for those tracing regional genealogy.
