1969 Map of Mount Etna

About this map

The Salamonie Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this survey, where the waters of the Salamonie River were harnessed for flood control and recreation. Near the shoreline, the Mount Etna State Recreation Area and the town of Mount Etna mark the interface between the newly engineered environment and the established rural layout. The land south of the water remains defined by a precise grid of roads and drainage projects like Detamore Ditch and Buck Run Ditch, illustrating the intensive management of this fertile stretch of the Indiana heartland.
