1961 Map of Ashland North

About this map

The northern reaches of Ashland serve as the focal point for this early 1960s survey, marking the transition from the city's expanding footprint into the agricultural township lands of Montgomery and Union. The Erie-Lackawanna railroad cuts a prominent path through the countryside, passing the small settlement of Nankin and several industrial Sand and Gravel Pits. This area is characterized by a high density of family-named burial grounds and local institutions, including the Rickert Cem, Fast Cem, and Maple Grove Ch, which provide valuable location data for genealogists tracing mid-century Ohio roots.
