1968 Map of Cedarville

About this map

Cedarville stands as a focal point in this Greene County landscape, dominated by the campuses of Cedarville College and Central State College at Wilberforce. The map captures the agricultural and institutional character of the region in the late 1960s, with updates into the 1980s that show the expansion of Shawnee Hills around the waters of Shawnee Lake. Transport patterns are defined by the convergence of several rural routes and the infrastructure of the Wilberforce Switch and the New Jasper Station. Small-scale local industry is present through a Quarry and Gravel Pit near the South Fork, while the rural social fabric is visible in features like the Cedar Cliff School and the Caesar Creek Cemetery. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Cedar Cliff down to the drainage of Massies Creek and Caesar Creek, reflecting a well-settled township system of family-named roads and scattered farmsteads.
