1961 Map of Beverly

About this map

The Muskingum River dominates this early 1960s landscape, carving a deep valley through the hills of Washington and Morgan Counties. Along its banks, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad line connects a series of riverfront settlements including Swift, Luke Chute, and Brokaw, illustrating a transit-oriented economy before the full shift to modern highways. The twin villages of Beverly and Waterford serve as the primary hubs, where the Fort Frye Sch and various municipal water pumps are situated near the river’s bend.
