1970 Map of Indian Bay
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The White River National Wildlife Refuge dominates this riverine landscape, where the meandering White River carves a complex network of oxbows and sloughs. Small settlements like St Charles, Crocketts Bluff, and Turner are established on the higher ground flanking the bottomlands. The map reveals a deep human history of the region, from the ancient Indian Mound near the river to the scattered country parishes of the 1960s, including Hill Chapel, St Mathew Ch, and New Hope Ch. The land is defined by water, with dozens of named lakes such as Horseshoe Lake, Upper Hooked Lake, and Goose Lake filling the floodplains. This survey records a period of agricultural drainage and flood control, evidenced by the intricate system of siphons and flumes surrounding Hopewell Sch and the Lutheran Cem.
