1966 Map of Palmyra
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
The Monon RR cuts through the northeast corner of this landscape, connecting the rural communities of New Pekin and Old Pekin. This region, where the borders of Harrison, Washington, and Floyd counties meet, is defined by the winding course of the South Fork Blue River and its numerous tributaries like Dutch Creek and Bear Creek. The settlement pattern centers on small hubs such as Martinsburg and Palmyra, with the latter featuring Palmyra Lake and the Township High Sch. Local genealogy and land-use history are well-documented through numerous family-named landmarks and country graveyards, including the Rickard Cem, Voyles Cem, and Martinsburg Cem. A notable geographic feature, Bear Creek Hill, rises above the drainage of Licking Creek, while the southern reaches show the Greenville Reservoir near the town of Greenville.
