1960 Map of Albany

About this map

Albany serves as the central hub of this topographical study of the borderlands between Athens Co and Meigs Co. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Leading Creek and Margaret Creek, with the north dominated by the Ohio University Airport and the recreational waters of Lake Snowden. The map documents a rural Ohio economy rooted in agricultural research and natural resource management, evidenced by the State Agriculture Experiment Station and the expansive Shade River State Forest to the east.
