About this map

Donnelsville and Enon anchor this mid-1960s landscape, where the rural character of western Clark County is defined by a dense network of pikes and river-bottom railroads. The Mad River flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle, paralleled by the Erie Lackawanna and New York Central rail lines. This corridor is punctuated by smaller industrial and transit stops like Cold Springs Station and Snyderville.

Cultural landmarks and community institutions are well-preserved in this record, including the Old German Church and the Northwestern High School near North Hampton. Genealogists will find interest in the numerous cemeteries such as Asbury Cemetery and the more unusual Wildason Animal Cemetery. The presence of the County Home For the Aged and the George Rogers Clark Park highlights the social and commemorative geography of the area during this era of postwar development.
