About this map

The agricultural landscape of Clinton County is defined here by the winding course of Beaver Creek and the industrial activity of the Carlyle North Oil Field. Small rural settlements like Stolletown and Frogtown anchor the local community, which is served by landmarks such as the St Felicitas Ch and the Ford Sch. The map reveals a transition in land use toward the southeast, where the edges of the Carlyle Reservoir appear, alongside the Carlyle Airpark.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including St Peters Cem, Yingst Cem, and Rudolph Cem. The presence of the Beaver Creek South Oil and Gas Field and scattered Oil Well locations illustrates the importance of subsurface resources to the regional economy during the late 1960s, even as the landscape remained primarily partitioned into townships like Wheatfield and Wade.
