1967 Map of Anthony

About this map

Anthony and the surrounding Marion County landscape are captured during a period of transition, showing a mosaic of wetlands and small rural settlements. The central corridor is dominated by the vast, marshy expanse of Goose Prairie and Indian Lake Prairie, which dictate the local road patterns and land use. To the west, the community of Sparr sits near the St Josephs Ch, while the southern reaches feature the Oak-Griner Sch near the settlement of Oak. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated in several rural congregational sites, including New Hope Ch and the Mt Olive Cem found near the Mt Olive Ch. An interesting aeronautical detail is the Landing Strip located north of Oak Road, serving this agricultural and ranching district.
