About this map

Eolia and the surrounding borderlands of Pike and Lincoln Counties are defined by a complex network of waterways, including the Cuivre River and its numerous tributaries such as Sandy Creek, Little Sandy Creek, and Sulphur Creek. This mid-1970s landscape shows a mix of agricultural land and state-managed conservation areas, most notably the William Logan State Wildlife Area and Vonaventure State Memorial Forest and Wildlife Area. The map reveals the imprint of early transportation through labels like Old Railroad Grade and Railroad Grade, indicating the path of former rail lines that once served this rural region.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers, including the Tinsley Cem, Morris Cem, and Lewis-Meriwether Cem. Small communities like Whiteside, Hobart, and Silex are shown alongside local landmarks such as St Johns Ch, Oak Grove Ch, and a Vocational Sch. Industrial history is represented by several Claypits and a Quarry, while geological features such as a Natural Bridge and numerous named springs add to the topographical detail.
