1961 Map of West Lebanon

About this map

The intersection of the New York Central and Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroads anchors the agricultural landscape of Warren County in the early 1960s. These rail lines supported a network of small grain-handling and residential hubs, including Stewart, Judyville, and Marshfield. The map reveals the local infrastructure of the era, from the storage bins near Stewart to the Seeger Memorial Sch and the southern cluster of West Lebanon. Drainage patterns across the townships of Jordan, Liberty, and Steuben flow toward the Wabash River, which cuts through the southeastern corner. Historical sites like Old Town and Redwood Cem provide essential data for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Indiana. The terrain is defined by several creek systems, notably Little Jordan Creek and Redwood Creek, which weave through the farm-to-market road grid.
