1955 Map of Donnelsville

About this map

Donnelsville sits at the intersection of the National Road and Donnels Creek, serving as a central hub for this agricultural portion of western Ohio in the mid-1950s. The landscape is defined by the broad valley of the Mad River in the south, where the Erie RR and New York Central RR track lines parallel the waterway. Notable social and historical landmarks include the George Rogers Clark State Park and the Clark Co Home for the Aged, reflecting the region's commitment to both public heritage and community welfare. Unique local features such as the Wildason Animal Cem and the prominent Knob Prairie provide distinctive points for genealogical and local history research. Smaller settlements like North Hampton, Lawrenceville, and Enon are connected by a grid of named rural routes, including Ulery Road and Marquart Rd, illustrating the established rural transit network of the era.
