1965 Map of Farmersburg

About this map

The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cuts through the northwestern corner of this Clayton County landscape, serving the community of Farmersburg. This mid-1960s survey captures a rural environment defined by a network of creeks and valleys, most notably Mill Creek and the deep incision of Dry Hollow. While agriculture remains the primary footprint, the map documents several civic and community focal points including the County Fairground near National and the County Farm further south. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local burial grounds such as National Cem, Giard Cem, and the Farmersburg-Wagner Cem. The settlement at Clayton Center anchors the southern portion of the sheet, where a Radio Tower and several quarries suggest the local utility and industrial activities of the era.
