1978 Map of Clarksville

About this map

The Mississippi River corridor dominates this late 1970s survey, showing the intricate relationship between the river and the river-bluff terrain of Pike County. At the northern edge, Clarksville sits adjacent to Lock and Dam No 24, while the Burlington Northern railroad tracks trace the shoreline past Island 464. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, featuring numerous family-named peaks such as Ben Watts Knob, Richardson Knob, and Mcllroy Knob that rise above the winding paths of Calumet Creek and Ramsey Creek.
