1960 Map of Whitewater

About this map

The East Fork Whitewater River carves a central path through this 1960 survey of the Indiana-Ohio borderlands, where the rural townships of Franklin, Harrison, and Jefferson converge. This agrarian landscape is defined by its small crossroads settlements and meticulous drainage networks, including White Ditch and Black Brook. The map captures a moment of established community life, anchored by numerous country houses of worship like Cedar Grove Ch and Goshen Chapel, and local education centers such as Westmont High Sch.
