USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Ohio River shoreline anchors this mid-century survey, where the river town of Aurora serves as a vital transit point for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. This industrial and transport hub is set against a landscape of prominent ridges, including Ebenezer Ridge and Washington Ridge, which overlook the winding paths of North Hogan Creek and South Hogan Creek. The map documents a period of transition, showing active social centers like the Dearborn Country Club and a Drive-in Theater alongside evidence of changing rural life.
