1961 Map of Dalzell

About this map

Wayne National Forest dominates much of this landscape in Washington and Noble Counties, where the terrain is defined by the winding tributaries of the Little Muskingum River. This early 1960s survey illustrates a rural settlement pattern centered on small communities like Dalzell and Germantown. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several rural congregations, including Zion Ch and Halls Chapel, alongside landmarks such as Scotts Ridge Ch and Waxler Ch. The industrial footprint of the era is visible through scattered Strip Mines and Gas Wells tucked into the ridges. Historical land divisions are exceptionally detailed here, noting the North Boundary Donation Tract and the West Boundary Old Seven Ranges, reflecting the complex early surveying history of the Ohio River Base.
