1963 Map of Dunn Creek

About this map

The historical Dunns Fort (Site) anchors the northern reach of this landscape, marking a legacy of early frontier settlement along the headwaters of Dunn Creek. By the early 1960s, the terrain shows a mixture of wooded creek bottoms and open agricultural land, defined by the winding paths of Campbells Creek and Thompson Creek. The rural social fabric is visible through scattered institutions like Friendship Ch and Mt Zion Ch, while the Walker Settlement Cem and Henry Cem offer vital clues for genealogists tracking local families. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the southwestern corner, reflecting the vital transportation artery that served the small community of Alexander and the surrounding area. Numerous Gravel Pits suggest active local industry during this period, set against a network of rural routes including Rabbit Lane and Tabor Road.
