1949 Map of Indian Grove

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Salt Creek and its many tributaries, including Hickory Branch, Elm Branch, and Clear Branch, define the rolling landscape of eastern Chariton County as it appeared in the mid-20th century. The settlement of Indian Grove serves as a local anchor near the southern boundary, surrounded by a dense network of country institutions that speak to the area's genealogy. Several distinct community centers are visible through the cluster of St Raphael Ch, Zion Ch, and Siloam Ch, alongside rural schoolhouses like Newcomer Sch and South Newhall Sch. In the northwest corner, the Santa Fe and Topeka Atchison railroad line cuts across the drainage of Yellow Creek, providing a vital transit link. Local history is further preserved in family and community burial grounds, such as Old Menden Cem and the German Cem.
