1960 Map of Carlos

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices diagonally across this agricultural landscape in southern Randolph County, marking a historic line that still influences modern property boundaries and road alignments. Small rural hubs like Carlos, Modoc, and Huntsville serve as focal points for the surrounding farmsteads, connected by the New York Central railroad corridor. The terrain is defined by a dense network of minor waterways, including Martindale Creek, Cabin Run, and Sugar Creek, which drain toward the White River and Stoney Creek. Local community life is anchored by traditional landmarks such as Salem Cem, Union Ch, and Martindale Ch. The map captures a moment of established rural stability, where the land use is primarily defined by large-scale farming and the infrastructure of the railroad era, just before the significant shifts in mid-century transportation patterns.
