From Goodrich Travel and Transport Bureau - B.F.G.R. Company, Goodrich Road Map of Indiana (Akron, Ohio: Beck Raymond Commercial Print and Lithograph Company, c.1920), via the University of Alabama.
This map is disorienting. Ainsworth rates the same size typeface as Merrillville and Hobart. Grand Boulevard appears to have a significant east-west jog in it. The greater part of Ainsworth Road has simply disappeared.
But don't you just love the way the whole thing looks? Doesn't the whole style just say "1920s"?
Here endeth my University of Alabama adventure. The last Indiana map they have, 1940, is some kind of topographical or geological thing and not pertinent to this blog. Great site, though, and I am much obliged to the Alabamians.
