1962 Map of Yeoman

About this map

The Tippecanoe River and Wabash River dominate this early 1960s landscape, with the impounded waters of Lake Freeman shaping the development of leisure areas like Terrace Bay, Patton, and Roth Park. In the central agricultural plains, the town of Yeoman serves as a local hub along the Monon Railroad, which cuts north-south through the terrain. Evidence of early settlement patterns persists in the numerous family and community landmarks, such as Schock Cem and the Hickory Grove Ch. The map captures a transition where traditional river-bottom farming meets mid-century lakeside recreation. Significant hydrological features including Rattlesnake Creek and Deer Creek provide a look at the natural drainage of Carroll and White counties before modern development altered these rural corridors. The alignment of Towpath Road along the Wabash hints at the region's earlier transportation history.
