1960 Map of Delaware

About this map

Ohio Wesleyan University and the Delaware city center sit at the heart of this mid-century landscape, bisected by the Olentangy River. The map documents a period of transition as the town's urban footprint expands, shown in purple revision tints, while the surrounding townships of Troy, Brown, and Berlin remain largely agricultural. The river valley is a focal point for infrastructure and recreation, featuring the Delaware Reservoir and the adjacent Delaware Reservoir Wildlife Area to the north.
