About this map

The Wabash River and the newly created Huntington Reservoir dominate this 1969 landscape just south of Huntington. The inundation of the river valley for flood control is evident, with the Little River joining the main stem near a prominent Gaging Station. This era marks a significant transition for Huntington County, where traditional agricultural land-use patterns meet modern infrastructure projects like the Huntington Municipal Airport and the sprawling State Recreation Area.

Rural life remains anchored by established landmarks such as Rock Creek Center and the small settlement of Majenica. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in the numerous burial grounds, including Star of Hope Cem, Yankeetown Cem, and Rees Cem. The Erie-Lackawanna RR cuts across the northern section, tracing the older transit corridors that once defined the economic movement through Union and Lancaster townships.
