1958 Map of Palmer

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The settlement of Palmer and the surrounding timberlands of the Clark National Forest define this mid-century survey of Washington County. Industrial activity is evident throughout the landscape, marked by numerous mines and tailings ponds concentrated along Town Branch and Ishmael Branch. These sites point to the region's historical reliance on mineral extraction, particularly lead and tiff. Small community centers and family heritage sites are preserved in the mapping of Marler Chapel, Hazel Creek Ch, and several family burial grounds like Sitton Cem and Scott Cem. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways, including Hazel Creek, Brock Creek, and Trace Creek, which eventually feed into the Big River near the village of Peoria. From the Tiff Lookout Tower, one would have surveyed a landscape where rural hamlets like Delbridge and Sunlight were connected by winding roads through the heavily wooded ridges of Harmony.
