1960 Map of Atwater

About this map

Rootstown and Edinburg define the northern townships of this Portage County landscape during a period of transition as the interstate system begins to carve through rural Ohio. The Penn Central rail line cuts diagonally across the terrain, passing through the historic node of New Milford (Rootstown Sta) and connecting the small hubs of Industry and Atwater. The land is characterized by numerous small water bodies like Muzzy Lake and Schultz Lake, while several cemeteries including Disciple Cem and Old Cem provide touchstones for local genealogical research.
