About this map

The White River winds through the heart of Randolph County in this 1960 survey, anchoring a landscape where small-town industry meets agricultural tradition. At the county seat of Winchester, the street grid expands around landmarks such as Randolph County Hospital and the Morton School, while the southern outskirts feature the Fountain Park Cemetery and Beeson Park Golf Course. Significant revisions from the early 1980s highlight urban growth and the development of the Randolph County Airport to the east.

Beyond the primary settlement, the rural townships of Ward, Jackson, and White River are dotted with family-named landmarks and local institutions like the Ward-Jackson School and Moffitt Cemetery. The northern reach includes the town of Saratoga, while specialized sites such as Gravel Pits and various Gas Well locations indicate the area's local resource extraction. Waterways like Clear Creek and Sugar Creek define the drainage of this till plain, providing a clear view of the natural and man-made systems at mid-century.
