About this map

Waymansville and the surrounding townships of south-central Indiana are captured in this 1962 revision, showing a landscape defined by the convergence of White Creek and Salt Creek tributaries. The western portion of the map is dominated by the Hoosier National Forest boundary, where the terrain rises toward Poplar Ridge and Gilmore Hill. This era reflects a stable rural settlement pattern centered on local institutions such as Ohio Chapel, St Peters Ch, and the Township Sch.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Gilmore Cem, Spraytown Cem, and Weddell Cem. The transition from the more developed eastern farmlands near Mt Healthy to the timbered ridges of Van Buren and Pershing townships highlights the geographical divide that shaped local industry and community life before late-twentieth-century changes.
