1961 Map of Ash Ridge

About this map

Brown County farmland and rural settlements are the focus of this mid-century topographic record, which also includes purple photorevisions from 1974. The sprawling Lake Waynoka dominates the eastern landscape, its many finger-like coves contrasting with the established agricultural grid. These revisions illustrate the growth of leisure and residential water-frontage in a region historically defined by its creek valleys, including Straight Creek and Honey Run.
