1969 Map of Majenica

About this map

Huntington Lake dominates the center of this landscape, created by the damming of the Little River and the Wabash River. The water's rise changed the local geography, creating public use areas and submerging land near the County Infirmary and Huntington Municipal Airport. South of the lake, the terrain transitions into a grid of rural farmsteads and crossroads settlements like Majenica and Rock Creek Center. This 1969 field-checked survey preserves the locations of numerous historic cemeteries, including Loon Creek Cem and Yankeetown Cem, along with country parishes such as Star of Hope Ch. The map provides a look at the region's intersection of natural waterways and modern infrastructure, including the Salamonie Reservoir in the southwest corner and the extensive drainage network of Elkenberry Ditch.
