1949 Map of Sentinel

About this map

Pomme De Terre River and Lindley Creek converge within this mid-century landscape, a region defined by the transition from rural farming communities to recreational water management. The mapping reveals the transformation of the valley with the introduction of Pomme De Terre Lake, which inundated former bottomlands while preserving the upland settlements of Pittsburg and Sentinel. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including the Pitt Cem, Stewart Cem, and Chamberlain Cem, alongside cornerstones of community life such as Oak Grove Sch and Fox Ridge Sch. Small hamlets like Adonis and Huckaby are documented at a time when the Pomme De Terre State Park and adjacent wildlife management areas began to reshape the local economy around the new reservoir.
