About this map

The Embarras River and its numerous tributaries, including Bluegrass Creek and Slater Creek, define the landscape of Clark and Edgar Counties during the early 1940s. A dense network of one-room schoolhouses such as Abraham Lincoln Sch, Germany Sch, and Mikes Peak Sch highlights the rural educational infrastructure of the period. The town of Martinsville serves as a central hub, where the Pennsylvania railroad line intersects with the local road system, adjacent to a significant Tank Farm and the Connelly Cem.

Further south, the town of Casey and nearby Oilfield suggest the regional importance of the petroleum industry, while numerous country churches like Willis Chapel and Green Moss Ch anchor the scattered farming communities. The survey also captures unique landmarks of the era, such as the Airway Beacon in Auburn and a prominent Quarry near Casey. This mapping provides a detailed record of local family names through landmarks like Connelly Ford and various family-named school districts.
