1970 Map of Valeene

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Initial Point Historical Monument stands as a focal point of this 1970 survey, marking the intersection of the Base Line and the Principal Meridian that governs the land surveying of Indiana. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Patoka River and its numerous tributaries, including Youngs Creek and Bacon Creek, which cut through the heavily timbered hills of the Hoosier National Forest. Settlement patterns here are small and scattered, centered on rural hubs like Valeene and Fargo. Local history is preserved in the numerous family landmarks and spiritual centers such as Purkhiser Cem, Cooks Chapel, and Providence Ch. Of particular note to historians is the preservation of the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which bisects the northeast corner of the map, illustrating the early 19th-century frontier lines that preceded the formal township grid.
