1975 Map of Murdock Lake

About this map

Abiaca Creek and its tributaries define the rolling landscape of this mid-1970s survey, where the boundary between Carroll and Holmes counties crosses through rural timberland and small family farms. The map is a significant resource for genealogists, as it documents numerous country churches and cemeteries that anchored these rural communities. Places of worship such as Nebo Ch, Goodhope Ch, and Emory Ch appear alongside established burial grounds like Murdock Cem and Old Salem Cem. A noteworthy historical feature is the Treaty Indian Boundary, which still marked the land division in the southeast corner. The terrain is dotted with small bodies of water, including Murdock Lake and Sanders Lake, while a Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark for forestry management.
