1961 Map of Alamo

About this map

Sugar Creek carves a deep path through this landscape, defining the northern reaches of Shades State Park and creating dramatic topographical landmarks like Pedestal Rock and the Devils Backbone. The area's history is written in its crossings and early industry, featuring the Deer Mill near a Covered Bridge and the Sycamore Ford further upstream. To the south, the town of Waveland serves as a local hub along the Pennsylvania railroad line, while the village of Alamo sits near the headwaters of Karnes Creek.
