1961 Map of Chillicothe West

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Chillicothe serves as the focal point of this 1960s study, where the western edges of the city meet the dramatic turn of Paint Creek. The landscape transition from the developed valley floor to the high ridges is evident in the residential expansion of Brewer Heights and North Fork Village. Beyond the suburban fringe, the map captures a rural interior characterized by family-named landmarks and small community centers. To the west, the curiously named settlement of Knockemstiff stands near Black Run, while institutional footprints like the V A Hospital and the Chillicothe Federal Reformatory occupy significant acreage north of the city. Geologic features such as the Alum Cliffs overlook the winding North Fork Paint Creek, and the presence of numerous small cemeteries like St Margarets Cem and Moore Cem provides valuable data for genealogical research within the Virginia Military District.
