1975 Map of Fall River Lake

About this map

Fall River Lake dominates this mid-1970s landscape, illustrating a transition from the original watercourses of the Fall River to a managed reservoir system. The map documents the extensive State Wildlife Management Area and Fall River State Park, reflecting the era's focus on conservation and outdoor recreation. A legacy of early settlement persists through several burial grounds, including Browns Chapel Cem and Charleston Cem, while the small settlement of Martin stands near the northern boundary. Transportation and industry are marked by the St L-SF railroad line and a Landing Strip, alongside extractive sites like the Quarry near the Fall River dam. Natural features such as Salt Springs and Durham Creek provide context for the varied terrain surrounding the central reservoir.
