About this map

Old Indian Field and the surrounding plateau dominate the western edge of this 1960s landscape, where the borders of Montgomery, Clark, and Powell counties converge. The terrain transitions from the rolling farmland around Camargo and Levee in the north to the sharp, wooded knobs of the southeast, including White Rock Mtn, Morris Mountain, and Wildcat Knob. This division illustrates the interface between the agricultural lowland and the more secluded reaches of the Daniel Boone region.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several scattered communities such as Kiddville, Indian Fields, and Westbend. Infrastructure of the mid-century era is visible through the prominent Pipeline corridors cutting across the topography and the presence of a Filtration Plant and Compressor Station. Natural landmarks like Lulbegrud Creek and the North Branch of the Red River wind through the valleys, while family names are preserved at the Willoughby Cem and rural spiritual life is centered at Macedonian Ch and Mt Sterling Ch.
