1953 Map of Westfield

About this map

Westfield sits at the heart of this agricultural region in the early 1950s, serving as a primary hub where the Chicago Indianapolis and Louisville and Central Indiana railroads once intersected. The landscape is defined by its small, distributed settlements such as Eagletown, Jolietville, and Hortonville, each connected by a grid of rural roads and the drainage of Eagle Creek. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of numerous rural institutions, including Washington High Sch and the Little Eagle Creek Ch. The presence of several established burial grounds like Summit Lawn Cem, Chester Cem, and Union Grove Cem reflects the deep-rooted family history of Washington and Adams townships during this post-war era of Hamilton County.
