About this map

Bozarth State Forest blankets much of this 1960s landscape, where the Black River is transformed by the massive infrastructure of the Clearwater Lake reservoir. This late-sixties topography captures the region as a recreational and conservation hub, featuring established public grounds like Webb Creek Public Use Area and Thurman Point Public Use Area along the convoluted shoreline.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites scattered throughout the timbered hills, including Pinedale Cem, Seematter Cem, and Murphy Cem. The presence of Lower Doe Run Ch and several small hollows named for early residents, such as Brawley Hollow and Dill Hollow, provides a look at the rural settlement patterns existing alongside the major drainage systems of Logan Creek and Sinking Creek.
