1949 Map of Durham

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Middle Fabius River and its meandering tributaries define the landscape of Marion and Lewis counties in the late 1940s. The region is characterized by small, scattered settlements such as Durham, Emerson, and Hester, which serve as focal points for the surrounding agricultural community. Transportation and trade are anchored by the Burlington Northern railroad, which cuts diagonally across the northern portion of the sheet through Highland. Local history is preserved in small landmarks like Mount Sinai Ch and several family-named burial sites including Wagner Cem, Banks Cem, and McPike Cem. The drainage patterns of Troublesome Creek and Grassy Creek illustrate the natural topography of Round Grove, providing a clear picture of the rural infrastructure and land use before later twentieth-century developments altered the local character.
