1964 Map of Pollock NW

About this map

West Locust Creek and its many tributaries, including Hackett Creek and Badger Branch, define the rural landscape along the border of Putnam and Sullivan Counties. In the mid-1960s, this region remained dominated by small rural settlements and religious centers such as West Liberty Ch, Union Grove Ch, and Plainview Ch. The topography shows a highly dissected plateau where ridge-top roads connect isolated communities like Midway and Terre Haute. Local genealogy is well-represented through family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Parsons Cem and Spring Cem, located near the winding course of Locust Creek. The drainage patterns of Little Medicine Creek in the southwest corner illustrate the natural erosion of the Northern Plains terrain, while the sparse development underscores the agricultural character of these Missouri townships.
