1966 Map of Allens Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Monroe Reservoir dominates the landscape of southern Monroe County, its sprawling blue waters filling the valleys of Salt Creek and its many tributaries. This 1966 revision illustrates the profound impact of the reservoir on the local geography, showing the U.S. Reservation Boundary and the newly established Paynetown State Recreation Area and Fairfax State Recreation Area. Despite the rising waters, older patterns of settlement remain visible on the higher ground. Small communities like New Paynetown and Siscoe anchor the region, while landmarks such as Mt Calvary Ch, Shiloh Temple, and the Allens Creek Cem serve as important touchstones for local genealogy. The topographic shading highlights the intricate ridge systems, including Dutch Ridge, Hardin Ridge, and Rush Ridge, which define the northern reaches of the Hoosier National Forest.
