1964 Map of Millerville

About this map

The Saline River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, forming the natural border between Grant and Dallas counties. This 1960s survey, updated in the early 1980s, reveals a rural economy heavily reliant on timber and mineral extraction, evidenced by the numerous Gravel Pits concentrated along the corridor of U.S. Route 167. The settlement at Millerville and the nearby Cross Roads serve as the primary hubs, while the backcountry is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Hurricane Creek, Tenmile Creek, and Lost Creek. Significant local genealogy interest is found in the scattered country churches and burial grounds, such as Shiloh Ch, Shiloh Cem, and Rhodes Cem. A Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark in the north, overseeing the forested terrain and the tributaries of the Saline River.
