1965 Map of Omega

About this map

Forbes State Lake dominates the northeastern corner of this Marion County landscape, its irregular shoreline reaching into the drainage of Rocky Branch and Phillips Br. The map reveals a rural settlement pattern defined by small family cemeteries and country churches situated along the ridge lines and creek valleys. Notable sites for local history include Yost Cem, Hadden Cem, and Millican Cem, alongside several houses of worship such as Lovells Grove Ch and Summit Prairie Ch. Industrial activity is marked by scattered Oil Wells and stone Quarries, while the southern reaches near Neffs Lake are carved by the many tributaries of Dums Creek, including Bear Branch and Winter Creek. The village of Omega sits at a crossroads, serving as a central point for the surrounding townships of Meacham, Alma, and Stevenson.
