1962 Map of Winamac

About this map

The Tippecanoe River meanders dramatically through Pulaski County, defining the landscape and providing a focal point for the Tippecanoe River State Park and the adjacent Winamac State Fish and Game Area. The town of Winamac serves as the local hub, its grid extending toward the riverbanks where City Park and the Pennsylvania RR corridor converge. This 1960s survey illustrates a rural economy transitioning into a managed recreational landscape, evidenced by the extensive network of drainage projects like Anstis Ditch and Breckenridge Ditch that crisscross the surrounding townships of Franklin, Tippecanoe, Monroe, and Harrison. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several burial sites, including St Peters Cem, Crown Hill Cem, and the Memorial Gardens, while several country school sites like Fairview Sch remained landmark features in the rural landscape.
