1961 Map of Clarksburg

About this map

Clarksburg and the surrounding farmland of the Virginia Military District define this 1961 landscape at the boundary of Pickaway and Ross counties. The map reveals a deeply rooted agricultural economy, illustrated by numerous family cemeteries and the remnant infrastructure of the Penn Central railroad passing through Atlanta and New Holland. Along the meandering course of Deer Creek, small settlements like Crownover Mill and Williamsport represent the long-standing water-and-road network of the region. The detailed inclusion of farm-bound cemeteries, such as the Hinton Farm Cem and Grant Campbell Farm Cem, offers significant value for genealogists tracing early settlers in these townships. The intricate web of named country roads, including Judas Road and Dick Road, provides a clear view of the rural township structure before late twentieth-century development.
