1968 Map of Cedarville

About this map

The rolling limestone country of Greene County unfolds across this survey, centered on the historic academic and agricultural hub of Cedarville. The landscape is defined by the incision of Massies Creek and its many branches, where the Penn Central rail line cuts through the terrain. To the west, the presence of Wilberforce and Cedarville College highlights the area's long-standing educational significance. A noteworthy transition is visible at Shawnee Hills, a suburban development around Shawnee Lake, contrasting with the more traditional rural patterns found near Oldtown and New Jasper. Genealogists will find considerable value in the documentation of numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Massies Creek Cem, Turnbull Cem, and the Caesar Creek Cem. Local transportation is well-recorded, from the small Port Xenia Airfield to the network of township roads like Tarbox Cemetery Road and Paintersville Road.
