1965 Map of Iuka

About this map

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor anchors this mid-century view of eastern Marion County, cutting through the village of Iuka and defining the local transport patterns. The landscape is a network of small family-centered landmarks, particularly along the drainage of Old Camp Creek and Paintrock Creek. For local historians, the concentration of country churches is remarkable, including Old Bethel Ch, Snowhill Ch, and Elm Grove Ch, many with associated burial grounds like Brawl Cem. The presence of several Oil Wells and a prominent Pipeline running through the Stevenson and Iuka townships indicates the region's mid-century petroleum interests. Farther south, the small settlement of Union Town sits near the confluence of Crooked Creek and Joe Branch, reflecting the enduring rural infrastructure of the era.
