About this map

The agricultural landscape of Hancock County transitions toward established villages in this mid-century survey. Arlington and Jenera serve as the primary hubs, with the latter situated along the Akron Canton and Youngstown rail corridor. The map reveals a dense network of rural community landmarks, including numerous family-named cemeteries such as Powell Cem, Hartman Cem, and Keller Cem.

Waterways like Eagle Creek and Tiderishi Creek wind through the township boundaries of Van Buren, Jackson, and Eagle. This era of the landscape is marked by the presence of several Oil Wells and Gas Wells, indicating the local energy extraction that complemented the region's farming economy. Near the crossing of Eagle Creek, Camp Berry and the Pleasant Grove Ch provide evidence of local social and spiritual centers that defined life in these Ohio townships during the early 1960s.
