About this map

The town of Albion serves as the focal point of this mid-1970s survey, showing its development around the Baltimore and Ohio railroad line. The landscape is a network of agricultural fields and water bodies, most notably the Elkhart River system which connects Waldron Lake, Steinbarger Lake, and Tamarack Lake in the north. Notable local landmarks include the Central Noble High Sch, the County Home, and the Rose Hill Cem on the outskirts of the village.

Transportation corridors define the settlement patterns here, with the Penn Central rail line running through Wawaka and Brimfield. This map preserves the locations of several rural institutions, from the York Center Sch in the southwest to the Orange Cem near Rome City. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and the Sewage Disposal Ponds reflects the local infrastructure and industry supporting these Noble County communities during this era.
