1970 Map of Clayton

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Penn Central railroad and the historic National Road define the settlement pattern across southern Hendricks County during this 1970 revision. This landscape is a patchwork of small agrarian communities like Clayton, Amo, and Pecksburg, many of which developed as vital stops along the rail corridor. The map preserves the locations of local landmarks that served these rural populations, including the Drive-in Theater near Liberty township and the Cascade Sch. Local family history is well-represented through several burial grounds such as Old Spring Cem and Hillside Cem. The drainage of the area is led by the East Fork Mill Creek and Mud Creek, which move through the townships of Clay and Marion, illustrating the topographical relationship between the watercourses and the established transport routes.
