1985 Map of Eaton

About this map

The unincorporated community of Porterville (Eaton) serves as the central hub of this mid-1980s Crawford County landscape, where the agricultural traditions of the Prairie intersect with the local petroleum industry. The terrain is defined by a dense network of productive Oil Fields scattered across the township boundaries of Licking, Oblong, and Robinson. This economic activity is set against a complex hydrological system featuring Big Creek, Onion Creek, and Grassy Creek, which carve through the level fields. Near the southern edge, the residential area of West Lake and a nearby Golf Course indicate the shifting land use toward recreation and rural housing during this era. A prominent Radio Tower stands near the eastern border, serving as a modern landmark for the surrounding farmland and industrial sites.
