Country road and cattle, Covington, IN, circa 1938

About this postcard

A dirt road curves past a flower-lined fence toward rolling pasture where cattle graze, with a large shade tree at right and a sunset-tinted sky. The printed caption reads "Greetings from COVINGTON, IND." Covington is the seat of Fountain County in western Indiana, near the Wabash River. The view is a generic country scene rather than a local landmark, a common way for town greeting cards to pair a place name with an appealing rural image.
