1970 Map of Wedron

About this map

The Fox River and its confluence with Indian Creek define the geography of this area on the cusp of the 1970s. Industrial activity is evident in the clustered sandpits and gravel pits near Wedron, where the Burlington Northern railroad follows the riverbank to support local extraction. To the south, the Dayton Dam manages the river's flow near a local Gaging Sta, while the surrounding townships of Serena, Dayton, and Rutland maintain their agricultural character. Genealogical value is found in rural landmarks like Serena Cem, Debolt Cem, and Trumbo Cem, alongside local congregations at Freedom Ch and the First Nazarene Ch. The presence of Camp Tuckabatchee along the wooded bluffs of Indian Creek highlights the region's recreational use during this era.
