1969 Map of Westfield

About this map

Westfield serves as the primary hub in this late-1960s landscape, where the Monon railroad corridor cuts a diagonal path toward the surrounding rural townships of Adams, Washington, and Jackson. The area is characterized by a dense grid of range roads including West 161st Street and East 191st Street, connecting smaller agricultural hamlets like Jolietville, Eagletown, and Hortonville. Local history is deeply etched into the countryside through institutions such as Union Grove Ch and Little Eagle Creek Ch, alongside several quiet burial grounds like Chester Cem and Summit Lawn Cem. The survey also documents the early aviation footprint of the region with the Westfield Landing Strip situated north of the main settlement. The drainage patterns of Eagle Creek and Finley Creek contrast with the straight-line precision of the county's established roadway and rail infrastructure.
