1965 Map of Clear Creek

About this map

The limestone quarrying district south of Bloomington dominates this 1965 survey, where numerous Quarries and extraction sites are clustered near Sanders and Victor. This industrial activity is serviced by a dual-rail network featuring the Illinois Central Railroad and the Monon, which cut through the undulating terrain of Van Buren and Perry townships. In the southeastern corner, the rising waters of the Monroe Reservoir have begun to reshape the landscape at Salt Creek, submerging the lower reaches of Sugar Cr and Judah Branch. Rural life is centered around established settlements like Harrodsburg and Smithville, supported by local institutions such as Clover Hill Cem and Indian Creek Sch. This map illustrates the transition from an economy rooted in stone extraction to one increasingly influenced by the newly created reservoir.
