1966 Map of Canal Winchester

About this map

Walnut Creek and the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor define the geography of this mid-1960s survey of the Franklin and Fairfield county borderlands. The village of Canal Winchester serves as a central hub, flanked by the smaller settlements of Waterloo and Lithopolis. The landscape reflects a mix of growing residential areas and traditional rural infrastructure, including several family-named landmarks and cemeteries such as Union Grove Cem and Bixby Cem. Significant land use is marked by the presence of Slate Run Park and Chestnut Ridge Park, while the Norfolk and Western Railroad traverses the southern reaches. Local history and genealogy researchers can find specific memorial sites like Arlington Burial Park and the Franklinton Hills Memory Garden, alongside functional landmarks like the Water Tank in Lithopolis and the Airway Beacon near Groveport.
