About this map

Corydon serves as the focal point of this 1980s landscape, where the street grid of the county seat reveals a community supported by essential civic institutions including the County Hospital, City Hall, and the Museum. To the north, the small settlements of Millerton and New York appear amidst a terrain deeply etched by the South Fork Chariton River and its many tributaries, such as Wildcat Creek and Sugar Creek.

Southwest of the town center, Corydon Lake is the centerpiece of Corydon Lake County Park, which features organized recreational spaces like the Campground and various Picnic Areas. The map also captures several points of genealogical and community interest, from the Fairground near the abandoned railroad grade to the Hogue Cem and Jackson Sch, preserving the locations of rural schools and cemeteries that define the historical footprint of Wayne County.
