1960 Map of Columbus Grove

About this map

Columbus Grove serves as the central hub of this Putnam County landscape, positioned at the intersection of two major rail lines. The Akron Canton and Youngstown and the Baltimore and Ohio Ironton and Detroit railroads converge within the village, reflecting a mid-century period of industrial connectivity. A notable diagonal line across the northern portion of the map marks the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, an invisible but significant historical demarcation that bisects the agricultural grid.
