1961 Map of Dalton

About this map

The village of Dalton serves as the central hub of this 1961 survey, situated at the boundary of Wayne and Stark Counties. This rural landscape is defined by its deep religious and educational roots, evidenced by the cluster of landmarks near Kidron such as Sonnenberg School and the Sonnenberg Cemetery. The transportation network reveals a transition in mobility, where the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Chicago and St Louis Railroad intersect with emerging local roads like Alabama Avenue. Along Sugar Creek and Newman Creek, the terrain transitions from agricultural fields to industrial operations, including a Strip Mine and a Mine Dump near North Lawrence. Smaller settlements like Burton City and Snively illustrate the late mid-century settlement pattern of eastern Ohio before significant modern expansion altered the character of these farming communities.
