1966 Map of Allens Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Monroe Reservoir dominates the landscape of southern Monroe County, its sprawling shoreline reaching into numerous valleys and hollows by the mid-1960s. This survey records a significant transition for the region, showing the newly flooded extent of Salt Creek and its forks alongside older terrestrial landmarks. Large portions of the terrain are preserved within the Hoosier National Forest and Morgan-Monroe State Forest, where rugged ridges like Knight Ridge and Hardin Ridge define the topography. Local heritage is preserved in the location of the Allens Cemeteries, Blackwell Church, and the Dutch Ridge Lookout Tower. The map illustrates the intersection of recreation and history, with newer sites like the Allens Creek State Recreation Area and Hardin Ridge Recreation Area established on the margins of older settlements like Siscoe and Eads.
