1961 Map of Butler

About this map

Butler serves as the central hub of this Richland County landscape, situated along the Clear Fork Mohican River and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor. The village is defined by early 1960s infrastructure including a Gaging Station and Sewage Disposal plant. To the south, the Greenville Treaty Line bisects the map, marking the historical boundary between different land survey systems: the Congress Lands to the north and the United States Military District to the south. This survey captures a mix of agricultural and conservation land, notably the State Conservation Area surrounding Knox Lake. Smaller rural clusters such as North Liberty and Four Corners are visible, while landmarks like Gatton Rock and Templed Hills Camp suggest the area's recreational and natural character. Numerous family-named roads, such as Teeter Road and Swank Rd, provide specific geographical markers for local historians.
