1947 Map of Allens Creek

About this map

Salt Creek meanders deeply across this 1947 landscape, defining the character of southeastern Monroe County before later reservoir projects altered the valley. The map documents a rural society built on ridges and along creek bottoms, anchored by a dense network of local institutions like Allens Creek Ch and Burgoon Ch. Settlements such as Fairfax and Payne Town are visible alongside numerous family-named landmarks, including the Lucas Cem and Todd Cem. This survey was conducted just as the Second Principal Meridian was established as a primary surveying line through the center of the sheet. The intricate topography of Polk and Perry townships is captured in fine detail, showing the many hollows and branches like Jarrell Hollow and Miller Hollow that fed into the main river systems of Clear Creek and Salt Creek.
