1918 Map of Middleburg

About this map

Middleburg sits at the strategic junction of the North and South Forks of Black Creek, serving as a focal point for this early 20th-century Clay County landscape. The area is defined by its intricate water network, where numerous branches like Sal Taylor Creek and Yellow Water Creek feed into the larger creek systems that eventually reach Doctors Lake. Transportation in this era relied heavily on river crossings and established wagon roads, evidenced by the presence of Rideout Ferry and Ross Ferry, along with landmarks like Bristol Bridge.
