About this map

Graham Cave State Park and the adjacent Graham Cave anchor the southern portion of this landscape, where the ancient archaeological site overlooks the Loutre River valley. This 1970s survey captures the area at a point of modern transition, showing the path of Interstate 70 cutting through the historic towns of Danville and Mineola. To the north, Montgomery City serves as the primary hub, its grid structured along the Norfolk and Western railroad line.

The topography is defined by a dense network of creek branches, including Loutre Creek, Clear Fork, and Smith Branch, which have carved numerous valleys into the Montgomery County terrain. Genealogists can locate several rural burial sites such as Providence Cem, Worland Cem, and Conley Cem. The map also documents local industry through several Quarries and a Claypit, while conservation efforts are represented by the Mineola State Wildlife Area and Baldwin State Wildlife Area.
