1970 Map of Modesto

About this map

Morgan-Monroe State Forest dominates the high ground in this 1970 survey, preserving a large swath of timberland across the Morgan Co Monroe Co line. The northern border of the map is defined by the White River and the tracks of the Penn Central railroad, which serve as the primary transit corridor near the Paragon Bridge. Below the forest ridges, the landscape transitions into the drainage basins of Beanblossom Creek and Indian Creek, where rural life is anchored by a dense network of country churches and family burial grounds. Notable local institutions include the New Salem Ch, Zion Hill Ch, and the Brown Sch, while the community of Modesto sits at a crossroads in the southern section. The intricate terrain of hollows, such as Bear Hollow and Fox Hollow, reveals the complex topography that dictated the placement of early homesteads and winding roads like Union Road.
