1961 Map of Chillicothe East

About this map

The Scioto River dominates this mid-century landscape, carving a broad valley where industrial infrastructure meets the steep rising terrain of Mount Logan and Mount Eyes. The city of Chillicothe serves as the focal point, showing a dense grid of neighborhoods, many schools such as Tiffin Sch, and civic landmarks like the Courthouse and City Hall. To the north, the sprawling grounds of the Federal Reformatory sit near the Sky Park Airport, while the southern reaches transition into the heavily wooded Scioto Trail State Forest. The era's transportation network is particularly dense here, featuring a complex intersection of the Norfolk and Western, Chesapeake and Ohio, and Baltimore and Ohio railroads. Small outlying settlements like Massieville and Renick Junction are recorded alongside numerous family cemeteries including Hamilton Cem and Malone Cem.
