2009 Map of Industry

About this map

Industry anchors the southern boundary of this landscape, situated along the winding course of Chapman Creek. The settlement pattern in this section of Clay County is defined by a rigid grid of rural corridors, including Hackberry Rd and Limestone Rd, which cross the natural drainage of McMurray Creek and Otter Creek. This 2009 survey reveals the persistence of early agricultural land divisions, where small family-named landmarks like Athelstane Cemetery remain preserved amidst the fields. The hydrology of the region is prominent, with Basket Creek and other tributaries feeding into the larger creek systems that dictate the topography. This map provides a clear record of the intersection between the established town of Industry and the surrounding rural townships just before the turn of the decade.
