1961 Map of Hindustan

About this map

Lake Lemon dominates the southern landscape of this 1961 survey, showing the shoreline as it appeared shortly after its mid-century creation. The surrounding terrain is defined by the extensive Morgan-Monroe State Forest, where numerous ridges and hollows are named for local families and landmarks. Historical transport and land divisions are visible through the Old Indian Treaty Boundary cutting across the southwest corner and an Old Railroad Grade in the northeast near Indian Creek. The map documents small settlements like Hindustan and Farr, along with essential community fixtures such as Liberty Ch and several family burial grounds, including Taylor Cem and Stepp Cem. This edition includes purple revisions from 1977, illustrating the growth of recreation areas like the Wheeler Mission Campground and the Mason Ridge Camping Area near the Lookout Tower.
