About this map

Chillicothe serves as the focal point of this survey, established at the confluence of the Scioto River and Paint Creek. The map documents a significant industrial and transportation corridor, where the Chesapeake and Ohio, Norfolk and Western, and Baltimore and Ohio railroads converge. In the north, the Federal Reformatory and Sky Park Airport occupy the flatlands, while the eastern horizon is defined by the steep rises of Mount Logan and Mount Eyes.

South of the city, the landscape shifts toward the wooded terrain of the Scioto Trail State Forest. Small settlements like Massieville and Schrader are recorded alongside numerous local landmarks such as Deadman Crossing and Three Locks. Genealogists will find detailed locations for family-named grounds including Malone Cem and Findley Cem, while several schools like McArthur Sch and Tiffin Sch illustrate the mid-century educational footprint of the Ross County area.
