1953 Map of Monterey

About this map

Monterey sits at the heart of this mid-century Owen County landscape, where the meandering course of Cedar Creek and its numerous tributaries define the local geography. The area's social and spiritual life is anchored by a network of rural congregations, including Cedar Hill Ch, Richland Ch, and the Old Cedar Ch near the banks of the creek. Small settlements like Hester and Richland are linked by winding roads that traverse ridges such as Sawdridge and Clayton Ridge.
