1961 Map of Beverly

About this map

The Muskingum River dominates this portion of southeastern Ohio, carving a winding path between Beverly and Waterford. This 1961 survey, updated through the mid-1970s and 1980s, highlights the river's role as a primary artery for industry and transport, evidenced by the Baltimore and Ohio tracks and a large riverfront powerplant and Substation. To the north, the landscape transitions into a network of creek valleys and ridges, where small agricultural settlements like Mill Grove and Moscow Mills persist alongside numerous rural cemeteries. The map preserves the footprint of several smaller communities along the river bends, including Beckett, Luke Chute, and Swift, which were once vital stops for rail and river traffic. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds such as Milnor Cem and DeLong Cem scattered across the uplands of Windsor and Waterford townships.
