1978 Map of Stanhope
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Stanhope serves as the central hub of this Hamilton County landscape in the late 1970s, where the Chicago and North Western railroad bisects the town on its east-west route. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Boone River in the northwest, which creates a sharp contrast of wooded relief against the surrounding agricultural grid. This drainage network is further supported by Squaw Creek, Crooked Creek, and the channelized Rahto Branch Ditch. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of rural community markers such as Saratoga Cem, Zion Cem, and Lawn Hill Cem, reflecting the early settlement patterns of townships like Marion and Clear Lake.
