1960 Map of Atwater

About this map

New Milford (Rootstown Sta) and the township centers of Rootstown, Edinburg, and Randolph anchor this Portage County landscape during a period of significant infrastructure development. The arrival of the interstate system is marked by Interchange 38 and Interchange 43, cutting across a countryside defined by older rail lines like the Conrail and small water bodies such as Muzzy Lake and Sandy Lake. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, identifying several burial grounds including Edinburg Cem, Homeland Cem, and the Disciple Cem located near the Disciple Ch. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the upper reaches of the Berlin Reservoir and Schultz Lake, while smaller settlements like Industry and Atwater reflect the local agrarian and light industrial hubs of the mid-20th century.
