1972 Map of Chaplin

About this map

Taylorsville Lake dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, its waters filling the deep valleys of the Salt River and its many tributaries like Timber Creek and Ashes Creek. This 1970s revision, later edited in 1987, documents the significant topographical change brought by the reservoir, while still preserving the underlying rural character of the region. Local landmarks such as Mitchell Hill and Pleasant Grove Ridge rise above the intricate drainage network, providing a clear view of the complex terrain that defines the borders of Spencer, Nelson, and Anderson counties.
