Produced by engineer and Major General George W. Davis, this cadastral map of Clark County, Indiana, shows the region in a period of significant growth, transformation, and economic prosperity in the decade following the conclusion of the American Civil War.

Davis’ contributions to American surveying, engineering, and civil projects cannot be underestimated.
