About this map

The village of Carroll serves as a central hub on this mid-century survey, where the Chesapeake and Ohio and Penn Central railroads intersect amidst a landscape defined by its vanished industrial waterways. The presence of the Ohio Canal (Abandoned) and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal (Abandoned) tracing the path of Walnut Creek highlights the era when towpaths were giving way to rail and road.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-named landmarks and rural congregations, including Wildermuth Memorial Ch, St Michaels Ch, and the Mt Carmel Cem. Settlements such as Havensport, Lockville, and Stoudertown appear alongside specialized features like the Anchor Hocking Airport and a Drive-in Theater, capturing the transition from a traditional agrarian economy to the expanding infrastructure of the mid-1970s.
