1979 Map of Stahl

About this map

The rolling landscape of the Putnam and Adair County line is defined by a dense network of family cemeteries and small rural settlements during the late 1970s. The small village of Stahl sits within Morrow township, while Green Castle occupies the southwestern corner of the sheet. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, including the Branstutter, Husted, and Megrew cemeteries, which are scattered throughout the hills. A notable feature of the local industrial history is the Old Railroad Grade running through Penn township, tracing a former transportation artery that once connected these upland communities. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous waterways such as Blackbird Creek, Shuteye Creek, and Spring Creek, which shaped the placement of early homesteads and the winding paths of the county roads.
