1960 Map of Carlos

About this map

Unionport and Buena Vista anchor the northern reaches of this rural landscape, which is defined by a dense network of small streams and agricultural drainage systems. The White River clips the northern boundary, while tributaries like Cabin Creek, Martindale Creek, and Mortar Creek carve through the farm country of Union and Washington townships. The Indian Treaty Boundary cuts diagonally across the western half of the map, a significant historical line still reflected in the local property and road patterns. Transport and infrastructure are centered on the New York Central rail line passing through Carlos and Modoc, alongside several large pipelines that cross the terrain. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several rural assembly points, including Salem Cem, Jordan Cem, and local congregations like Martindale Ch.
