1958 Map of Darbyville

About this map

Big Darby Creek meanders through the central landscape of this Pickaway County quadrangle, defining the boundaries between Muhlenberg, Jackson, and Monroe townships. The map documents a rural agricultural region in the late 1950s, anchored by the village of Darbyville and smaller crossroads like Robtown and Fox. Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers, including family-named sites such as Gulick Cem, Florence Cem, and Renick Cem. The eastern edge is bordered by the Scioto River, where Grove Run joins the main channel. Evidence of early community infrastructure is preserved through the locations of the Scioto Chapel and the Township Sch, while the grid of country roads, including Van Meter Road and London-Northern Road, reflects the established mid-century rural transport network.
