1961 Map of Carey

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices diagonally through this agricultural landscape, a persistent line from an earlier era that still dictates the property lines and road alignments between Vanlue and Carey. The village of Carey serves as a significant rail junction where the Conrail and Chesapeake and Ohio lines meet, supporting local industry including a large Quarry on the eastern edge of town. Educational and spiritual life is well-documented through landmarks like the West End Sch and numerous country churches such as St Pauls Ch and the Amazing Grace Tabernacle. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage improvements, notably the Akron Canton and Youngstown Ditch, which manage the water levels of the surrounding Big Spring and Big Lick areas. To the southeast, the Wyandot Wildlife Area provides a contrast to the geometric patterns of the surrounding family farms and named roads like Statler Road.
