About this map

The Pennsylvania railroad corridor defines the development of Clark County in the mid-20th century, linking the major settlements of Casey and Martinsville. This landscape is marked by a transition from the industrial infrastructure of the Oilfield area and a large Tank Farm to a dense network of rural schoolhouses and churches. Family-named landmarks such as Enlow Cem and Davis Cem reflect the deep-rooted local genealogy of the region.

North of the rail lines, the terrain is carved by the North Fork and Mill Creek, where smaller communities like Westfield and Dolson thrived alongside numerous one-room schools, including Abraham Lincoln Sch and Jeff Davis Sch. The presence of an Airway Beacon and a local Quarry provides evidence of the varied commercial and navigational infrastructure supporting the county's economy during this era.
