1965 Map of Weldon
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Weldon stands as the primary settlement on this mid-1960s survey, situated along the southern boundary of Clarke County. The surrounding landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, notably White Breast Creek and South White Breast Creek, which carve through the timbered sections of Green Bay and Franklin townships. A significant piece of local transportation history is recorded here in the Old Railroad Grade, which parallels the county line and suggests the path of former rail commerce that once linked these rural communities. For those researching local families, the map includes several small burial sites scattered across the townships, including Hebron Cem and Chaney Cem. The network of section roads and field lines reflects a strictly agrarian economy at the time of the 1964 aerial photography, showing the transition from Clarke into northern Decatur County.
