About this map

Murdock Lake and Sanders Lake center this mid-1970s landscape, where the rural character of Carroll and Holmes counties is defined by a network of creek drainages and small community hubs. The landscape is heavily marked by local heritage sites, with several church-and-cemetery pairings such as Goodhope Ch and Goodhope Cem in the north, and New Zion Ch and New Zion Cem further south.

A significant historical marker, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, cuts through the lower portion of the map, signifying early land divisions that shaped the region. Waterways like Abiaca Creek and Fannegusha Cr wind through the hills, while a Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark. This survey documents the area just before 1980s updates, preserving the locations of family-named landmarks like Beards Lake and Blackman Ch.
