1961 Map of Caldwell South

About this map

Caldwell anchors the northeast corner of this 1961 survey, where the Pennsylvania railroad tracks parallel the West Fork Duck Creek and Duck Creek. The landscape across the Sharon, Olive, Center, and Jackson townships is defined by a dense network of narrow ridges and winding stream valleys. A significant number of family and community burial grounds, such as Sailor Cem, Tillsonville Cem, and Jordan Cem, are scattered across the uplands, often near small rural congregations like Manchester Ch and Forest Grove Ch. The influence of the extractive industry is evident in the numerous Strip Mine and Quarry labels marking the hillsides, particularly around the headwaters of Sharon Fork and Taylor Fork. These sites represent the mid-century intersection of rural agriculture and small-scale surface mining in Noble County.
