1965 Map of Clear Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The limestone industry of southern Monroe County is prominently displayed through numerous quarries and quarry sites scattered between Sanders and Victor. This 1965 survey, updated with late-1970s aerial data, reveals a landscape defined by industrial extraction and the shifting infrastructure of the Illinois Central Railroad and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. The southern portion of the map shows the transition of the landscape following the creation of Monroe Lake, where several areas are noted as subject to controlled inundation near Salt Creek. Historical community centers such as Harrodsburg, Smithville, and Kirksville serve as anchor points for local history, with several rural landmarks like Walkers Chapel and the Clover Hill Cemetery providing essential data for genealogical research in Indian Creek and Clear Creek townships.
