1985 Map of Albany South

About this map

Gentryville and Albany anchor this mid-1980s landscape in Gentry County, defined by the winding course of the Grand River and its Grand River East Fork. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features including Lee Lake and several smaller streams like Stillhouse Br and Bearright Branch. The map reveals a transition between established town centers and the river's dynamic floodplain, which is noted for its numerous Sand Areas along the bends of the river. Small crossroads and rail-adjacent locations such as Albany Junction, Evona, and Whitten illustrate the local distribution of rural settlements. This record captures the region’s topography through detailed contouring, showing the relationship between the low-lying river bottoms and the surrounding uplands within Athens, Cooper, and Miller townships.
