About this map

The Middle Fork Salt River meanders across the central landscape of this Monroe County region, defining a topography of intricate stream networks and wooded draws. The small community of Woodlawn serves as the focal point for this rural area, which is subdivided into townships including Jefferson, Woodlawn, Clay, and Marion. The survey documents a late 1950s agricultural landscape where rural life revolved around local landmarks like Oak Grove Ch, Pleasant Green Ch, and Mt Pleasant Ch.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family-named burial grounds, such as Atterberry Cem, Forest Grove Cem, and Milner Cem, which are scattered throughout the countryside. Industrial history is represented by a single Mine location, while a complex hydrology involving Otter Creek, Mud Creek, and Flat Creek illustrates the natural drainage patterns that shaped local settlement and land use during this era.
