About this map

Ashland dominates the northern portion of this early 1960s survey, showing a thriving community centered around its historic Courthouse and Ashland College. The urban core is well-defined by the Ashland City Bdy, with the Erie Lackawanna Railroad cutting through the center of town. To the south, the landscape shifts into a patchwork of rural townships like Vermillion and Mifflin, where smaller settlements such as Hayesville and Widowville serve as local hubs.

Water management and conservation are central to the southern terrain, anchored by the Charles Mill Reservoir and the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy Dist. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout these rural stretches, including Miller Cem, Zehner Cem, and Hayesville-Vermillion Cem. Significant landmarks such as the Ruffner Monument near Honey Creek and the Armory in the city provide specific points of interest for local historians.
