1965 Map of Clear Creek

About this map

Monroe County’s limestone heritage and shifting transportation networks define this landscape south of Bloomington during the mid-1960s. The map illustrates a region transitioning from rural agricultural life to one shaped by the massive Monroe Lake reservoir and the active extraction of stone. Numerous unnamed Quarries dot the terrain near Sanders and Victor, while the path of the Illinois Central Railroad and the Chicago Indianapolis and Louisville Railroad cut through the hills. This document is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it preserves the locations of local landmarks like Walkers Chapel, Indian Creek Sch, and Mt Salem Cem. The map also captures local recreation and infrastructure, ranging from the Bloomington Speedway near the northern boundary to the early developments of Boat Ramps and lakeside points following the damming of Salt Creek.
