1972 Map of Black Bear

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Black Bear Creek meanders through this landscape in Noble County, marking a terrain defined by both its natural drainage and early 1970s industrial activity. The convergence of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the St Louis-San Francisco railroads highlights the area's importance as a transportation corridor during this era. Scattered across the rural sections are signs of local industry and community life, from multiple oil wells and shale pits to the isolated Water Tank. Genealogists will find particular value in the presence of Zion Ch and its adjacent Zion Cem, alongside the Richburg Cem further south. The map also documents the transition of land use near the Black Bear Meridian, showing a mix of established watercourses like Elm Creek and emerging developments such as a Trailer Park.
