2010 Map of Clear Creek

About this map

Bloomington serves as the northern anchor for this 2010 study of Monroe County, which transitions from urban development to the managed waters of Monroe Lake. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Clear Creek and its many tributaries, including May Creek and Little Clear Creek, which carve through the terrain near landmarks like Cedar Cliffs and Crum Point. The map illustrates the southern expansion of the county seat toward unincorporated communities such as Victor and Sanders. Significant infrastructure is visible at the Monroe Lake Dam on Salt Creek, where the river's flow is regulated south of Depot Hill. Local history is preserved through numerous family and community sites, including Clover Hill Cemetery near Harrodsburg and the Bloomington Speedway, documenting the area's social and recreational layout at the start of the 21st century.
