2016 Map of Clear Creek

About this map

Harrodsburg and the surrounding limestone-rich hills of southern Monroe County define this landscape as it appeared in the mid-2010s. The settlement pattern reveals the growth of Smithville-Sanders and Garden Acres as they integrate into the expanding residential footprint south of the regional center. Distinctive topography is visible along the bluffs of Cedar Cliffs and the rugged drainage of May Cr, while the southeastern corner is dominated by the waters of Monroe Lake near Kelly Point. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Clover Hill Cem and the Chambers Cem near the historic Depot Hill. The map also captures the path of Clear Creek and numerous rural junctions like Victor and Kirksville, which remain important markers for genealogists tracing family landholdings in this part of Indiana.
