1960 Map of Arcadia

About this map

Agricultural lands and industrial infrastructure define the Hancock County landscape in this survey, which captures the eastern edge of Findlay and the village of Arcadia. The terrain is marked by a complex network of drainage and water management, centered on the significant Findlay Reservoir and the winding course of the Blanchard River. Small rural hubs and family lineages are anchored by community landmarks such as Salem Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and Mt Zion Ch, along with numerous local burial grounds including High Bank Cem and Hamlin Cem. The Norfolk and Western railroad corridors cut diagonally across the townships of Allen, Cass, and Washington, illustrating the region's reliance on rail transport for its farming and emerging industrial sectors. Revisions from the early 1970s, noted in purple, highlight the ongoing expansion of the suburban fringe near the city center.
