1905 Map of Clarington

Settlement patterns follow the deep incisions of Captina Creek and Sunfish Creek, with clusters at Armstrongs Mills and Clarington. Numerous post offices indicate a dispersed but active rural population, including Centerville Demos P.O. and Thompson P.O. Chestnut Hill. The map meticulously records the numerous "bottoms" along the river, such as Cresap Bottom and Wells Bottom, which served as vital agricultural and transit hubs before the modernization of the river's lock and dam system.
