About this map

Parker and Farmland serve as the primary anchors of this 1960s agricultural landscape, situated along the Penn Central railroad corridor. The area is defined by its rectilinear grid of country roads, such as 500 North Road and Windsor Pike, which facilitate movement between scattered farmsteads and rural hubs. The White River meanders across the southern portion of the sheet, joined by several smaller tributaries including Cabin Creek and Stoney Creek.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community institutions like Mt Pleasant Church and Rehoboth Church, as well as numerous family-named burial grounds like the Swindley Cemetery and Fredline Cemetery. The presence of Oil Wells in the north and the Monroe Central High School near the center point to the diverse land use in Randolph Co during this era of post-war development.
