1983 Map of Martensdale

About this map

Martensdale serves as a central hub in this western Warren County landscape, situated at the confluence of several critical drainage systems and regional transport routes. The town is flanked by the Middle River and Clanton Creek, while the C & N W railroad line cuts through the northwestern corner near the Church of Christ. This 1980s-era documentation captures the township organization of Jefferson, Lincoln, Jackson, and White Oak, showing a well-established grid of rural avenues connecting small communities like St Marys and Wick. To the south, the terrain becomes more defined by the winding paths of the South River and Turkey Creek. Genealogists will find value in the location of the Wallace Cem and the Center Chapel, providing specific markers for family research in this agricultural heartland before modern rural development patterns significantly altered the local character.
